Synopsis
It is autumn in Shady Hollow, and residents are looking forward to harvest feasts. But then a rabbit discovers a grisly crop: the bones of a moose.
Soon, the owner of Joe’s Mug is dragged out of the coffeeshop and questioned by the police about the night his wife walked out of his life—and Shady Hollow—forever. It seems like an open-and-shut case, but dogged reporter Vera Vixen does not believe gentle Joe is a killer. She will do anything to prove his innocence. . .even if it means digging into secrets her neighbors would rather leave buried.
Thoughts
Book two in the Shady Hollow series was just as delightful as the first. Since Joe was already established as a beloved citizen of Shady Hollow, I was especially interested to see how this story would play out. This book gave me the cozy atmosphere, witty humor, and light mystery that I was looking for.
I highly recommend this series if you are looking for something different. In the author’s words, “Shady Hollow is a small town populated by friendly animal folks, from birds to bears. The calm is marred only by the occasional murder.”
