I have really enjoyed this trilogy with its creative take on cozy mysteries that oddly works so well that you forget the characters are woodland creatures! Vera is my firm favourite but all of them have their own brand of charm even Lefty whose bungled attempts at thieving make you want to suggest he goes straight! We also get to finally meet the much talked about author Bradley Marvel who fancies himself as a Lothario. an investigation and she makes some startling discoveries. Vera's interest is most definitely piqued and that can only mean one thing. How can this be? He's standing right in front of her. The following day a terrified scream pierces the air around Mirror Lake, which turns out to be the rat, Dorothy Springfield who claims her husband Edward has been murdered. Something catches Orville's eye and he then takes them all by surprise by announcing his candidacy for Chief in the upcoming elections. All the occupants of the usually peaceful place are there and they greet Vera Vixen the local reporter and Deputy Orville Braun as they wend their way around. As she follows the clues, she must step carefully, because the election for police chief means everyone has an opinion about the crime rates in this town, and the law might prefer to sweep some messy matters under the rug.It's mid October in Shady Hollow and there's a glorious blaze of colour surrounding the annual Harvest Festival. In a quiet neighborhood along the shore of Mirror Lake, Vera discovers a few things that don't fit, starting with a misplaced lamp and an unknown face in an old photograph. But foxy reporter Vera Vixen has some questions. They think Dotty just started to believe her own nonsense. What can it mean? Edward has no answers, and most of the neighbors would rather ignore the awkward situation.

The accuser, Dorothy Springfield, is an admittedly eccentric resident who claims her loving husband Edward is dead.even though he's standing right next to her when she says it. In the midst of this unexpected tension, a murder is announced, but there's a twist: the victim is still alive! The local fall election is coming up and the campaigning is unusually fierce, since Deputy Orville Braun is running against been-in-office-forever Chief Meade.

Shady Hollow is a cozy small town filled with woodland creatures who live and work together.
