Synopsis
It’s late August in Shady Hollow, and the heat has intrepid reporter Vera Vixen eager to get away. She agrees to chaperone the annual field trip to Summers End, an ancient tomb built by an early woodland culture, along with her good friend Lenore Lee to come with her.
But when the two enter the tomb, they find bones that are distinctly more…modern. Digging a little deeper, Vera and Lenore discover that the deceased was involved in a recent excavation at the site, and very unpopular with their colleagues. Now the fox and raven have to delve into the dark world of academia and archaeology to determine which creature thought they were clever enough to get away with the perfect murder.
Thoughts
I loved the Shady Hollow series so much that I wish it had many more books. This is a series I see myself reading again in the future. It is the coziest. The characters are endearing and their little town is fun to escape to—even if we have to deal with the occasional murder. Each book is as delightful as the next, and the series comes with my highest recommendation. Pick this up if you enjoy cozy mysteries or just want to try something different. The audio is exceptional, too!
★★★★★
☊ Listening to this story via audiobook was exceptional. Narrator Cassandra Campbell did a stellar job. This is one of the best audiobook series in my book.
