Books from the Backlog - The Tale of Holly HOw

Today I'm linking up with Carole from Carole's Random Life of Books for Books from the Backlog.  I really enjoy the chance to feature a book that's been hiding in the piles of books for far too long!  This week's book is one I had completely forgotten about until I redid my shelves a month or so ago.  I've had it for literally years and was really looking forward to it when I bought it.  Isn't that always the way.


Goodreads:  The Tale of Holly How by Susan Wittig Albert

Blurb:  Everyone in Sawrey likes Ben Hornby. So when Beatrix finds the shepherd dead in the meadow and suspects foul play, she wonders who would have done such a thing. A trio of village cats has an idea: When Ben breathed his last, his sheep must have seen his killer before scattering. So they set out to find the far-flung flock. Although she’s distracted by duties at the farm and the sad plight of a young girl, Beatrix must get to the bottom of this. As the stories intertwine, Beatrix and the creatures realize that, to solve this case, all of Sawrey, both the two- and four-legged inhabitants, must work together... 

Why It Needs to Come Off the Shelf: A cozy mystery solved by Beatrix Potter seems kind of summery and very fun.
