SHADY HOLLOW: A MURDER MYSTERY

SHADY HOLLOW: A MURDER MYSTERY by Juneau Black

If you have been following this page for any length of time you will see a reoccurring genre - mystery. I love a good mystery. With that being said, it was a no-brainer when I was perusing the shelves at the bookstore and came across Shady Hollow. Shady Hollow is a fun read set in an animal community by Juneau Black. Sort of like if Wind in the Willows met Maisie Dobbs.

When Otto Stumpf, the curmudgeonly old toad of the community, turns up dead in the millpond with a knife sticking out of him, the entire hollow is thrown into a panic. Nothing like this has ever happened before in the small community. But as Vera Vixen, a local news reporter who happens to also be a fox, begins to dig, secrets begin to emerge which lead to yet another death. Hopefully, she can figure out what's going on before the murderer gets to Vera to shut her up.

HEADS UP- So why did I give this a yellow? For one reason. This entire story is based on an affair gone wrong. There are no intimate details shared. You just know that the affair is over and there is an individual that is seeking vengeance.
