Shady Hollow. Un misterioso asesinato

Meer over het boek

Deep in the forest lies Shady Hollow, a village where every resident is an animal. Bears patrol the streets, owls provide legal counsel, and ravens run the local bookshop. Vera Vulpes, a quick-witted fox, has just arrived to take the reporter's desk at the gazette. Although new to Shady Hollow, Vera excels at her job, possessing an eye for detail and a knack for asking the right questions to the wrong people. When Otto Sumpf, a misanthropic toad, is discovered dead in the millpond, Vera suspects foul play, despite the chief of police, a laid-back black bear, believing it to be an accident. Undeterred, Vera begins to unravel the case, revealing hidden debts, old grudges, and long-kept secrets. As she digs deeper, someone decides she’s pried too much into their affairs. Solving the murder will challenge her cunning and may come at a high cost. This captivating mystery series, penned by Jocelyn Cole and Sharon Nagel under the name Juneau Black, combines warmth and humor with clever plots and sharp observations of community dynamics. Originally self-published in 2015, it gained acclaim after being picked up by Penguin Random House/Vintage Crime, earning praise for its imaginative cozy crime narrative.
