This is a charming cozy mystery where every character is a woodland animal. I enjoy the series but was disappointed that we did not get to see our lead, Vera Vixen, interact with her sweetheartt until the last 5 pages of the book. The mystery happens in a different town so the regulars are not part of the story.
This is the fifth book in the Shady Hollow mystery series, and I absolutely loved it!
Both Vera Vixen and Leonore Lee agree to be chaperones for the Shady Hollow field trip to Summers End, a well-known prehistoric monument located upriver. Unfortunately, the tour of the ancient tomb is interrupted by the discovery of the dead body of Professor Ridley Durham, the bighorn sheep, that is in charge of the Summers End archeological dig. Additionally, Ligeia Lee, Leonore's sister, has a reputation for verbally fighting with her colleagues. As a result, she quickly becomes the primary suspect in the murder and both Vera and Leonore investigate in order to prove her innocence.Â
