Shady Hollow

Snappy Review

Ok, you can dive into this series at any point, however it makes MUCH more sense to start at the beginning. Having read several of the series before number one, I was still charmed and enjoyed it thoroughly. It sounds weird, it is a little weird, but its a delightful weird!

Book Synopsis

Think Agatha Christie meets Beatrix Potter, but the animals have moved beyond Mr MacGregor’s vegetable patch to a place much more sinister . . .

A MURDER TO SOLVE. A REPORTER ON THE CASE.
CAN YOU SPOT THE SECRETS IN SHADY HOLLOW?

In the woodland community of Shady Hollow, you’ll discover a secret. Moose and mice, owls and bears live side by side in civilized harmony. Shady Hollow has a coffee shop and a bookshop, a haberdasher and a bank. All is well . . . until the town’s querulous toad shows up dead. It’s something this village haven’t seen before: a murder.

Vera Vixen is new in town. She has a nose for news and catches the scent of a story, one that leads her to dark places. As she stirs up the still waters, the fox exposes more than one mystery, and the folks in Shady Hollow learn that some of their neighbours are lying, while others are downright dangerous. It will take all of Vera’s cunning and quickness to come out alive.

Entertaining and perceptive, Shady Hollow is fast-paced and witty, with characters that jump off the page and a hugely satisfying mystery to solve. Once you’ve met the residents of Shady Hollow, you won’t easily forget them.
