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!
Goodreads: Shady Holoow by Juneau Black
Blurb: The first book in the Shady Hollow series, in which we are introduced to the village of Shady Hollow, a place where woodland creatures live together in harmony--until a curmudgeonly toad turns up dead and the local reporter has to solve the case.
Reporter Vera Vixen is a relative newcomer to Shady Hollow. The fox has a nose for news, so when she catches wind that the death might be a murder, she resolves to get to the bottom of the case, no matter where it leads. As she stirs up still waters, the fox exposes more than one mystery, and discovers that additional lives are in jeopardy.
Vera finds more to this town than she ever suspected. It seems someone in the Hollow will do anything to keep her from solving the murder, and soon it will take all of Vera's cunning and quickness to crack the case.
Why It Needs to Come Off the Shelf: I read the most recent book in this series last year and enjoyed it enough that I went out and bought the first book intending to catch up on the series before book 5 came out. Book 5 is about to come out and I still haven't read book 1!
I've heard good things about this series. Ashley over at The Rustic Reading Gal totally loves it. I wish my library had copies of it.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds good. I never read this author but I've been wanting to.
