In a town where a moose runs the local coffee shop, a bear is the chief of police, and a raven named Lenore runs the bookshop, you’ve got to be willing to suspend disbelief and just have fun with it. Intrepid reporter, Vera Vixen, frustrated by the authorities’ sleepy response–and eager to break the story–throws herself into the investigation and finds answers and danger along the way. Local curmudgeon, Otto the Toad, is murdered, which sets off a series of incidents, crimes, and murders. Think Midsomer Murders meets Wind in the Willows.

All the main characters are anthropomorphic creatures living in the quiet woodland community of Shady Hollow. First in a newer series of cozy mysteries, this is a fun novel for when you want an easy read with a bit of a twist. Shady Hollow is a comfy, cozy small town murder mystery book in an early 20th-century-ish setting, with a cast that entirely consists of anthropomorphic animals.
