After reading Shady Hollow, I couldn't wait to read the next book in the series. Even though this novel wasn't quite as good as the previous one, I still enjoyed this tale of the woodland creatures.
Julia Elkin, wife of Joe Elkin, supposedly walked out on Joe over ten years ago, but then her bones are accidentally discovered at Cold Clay Orchards. Both Vera Vixen and Deputy Orville Braun together investigate who is behind this murder.
My favorite creatures in this story are:
Vera Vixen - The foxy reporter for the Shady Hollow Herald.
Deputy Orville Braun - The hard-working large brown bear.
Lenore Lee - A dark-as-night raven who owns Nevermore Books, the town's bookshop.
Joe Elkin - The genial giant of a moose who owns Joe's Mug, the town coffee shop.
Esmeralda von Beaverpelt - The hardworking waitress at Joe's Mug.

Another charming, enchanting, delightful cozy mystery from the writing team of Juneau Black about the animals who live in Shady Hollow. Vera Vixen, intrepid reporter, is on the case again as she tries to figure out what happened to Joe's wife. I very much enjoy all the character interactions and how the world of Shady Hollow is slowly expanding.
