I was hesitant to read this. So many people had recommended it to me but, I mean, it’s about woodland creatures. I already watch a lot of Bluey and Daniel Tiger and play a lot of Animal Crossing, did I really want to read a book about woodland creatures? Was it a kids book? Well, the answer is yes, I want to read this and the entire series and no, it is not a kid book.
The local cantankerous frog has been murdered. The local gossip hummingbird finds the body. Newcomer and reporter fox, Vera Vixen, is on the case but it may be to her detriment.
This book didn’t have to be written with the characters being woodland creatures but it does give an adorable twist to the cozy mystery genre. If you are looking for a cozy mystery, try this one. You won’t be disappointed.

A good cosy mystery but except for the characters being animals, the story didn't necessarily stand out.
