I really enjoyed this book! It was so cozy and I really liked the vibes that it gave. This book was an amazing introduction to the characters as well as the town and it helped me to understand how the town worked and understand the world. I really liked the characters and how they interacted with each other, it really felt like everyone were family and everyone took care of each other. I actually suspected the killer was involved in the situation but I did not figure out their motive, so I didn't think they were the actual killer. However, I did like that the clues did eventually point out to the killer and it was not a crazy revelation and something that I could have actually figured out. I really liked all the characters that were introduced, and I am looking forward to seeing more of them in the future books. I really liked Vera and Lenore's friendship, they are so caring towards each other and I like how they interact and are partners in the investigation. I really liked Orville and Vera's relationship and their banter, I squealed at the end! Hoping to see more crumbs of this in the next books lol. I love Vera's character and how determined she was to solve the murder, even putting herself at risk, while also reporting the various updates and finds for the news, I like that she is journalist and it definetly added to her character and explains her curiosity. I quite liked how the book ended, and will definetly be continuing the series!!

Amazing book! It's so popular but still underrated because of how good it is.
Plot:
South of Mirror Lake but North of Elm Grove, lies the town of Shady Hollow. All of its residents are animals with the intelligent traits of humans. Think Sing!, Zootopia, or Animal Crossing.
All of the townsfolk live in harmony. None would ever dream of changing that. But creatures aren't so sure when a toad is found floating in a pond with a knife in his belly. Dead.

Pros:
Amazing book! The mystery is complex and fun, the characters are lovable yet suspicious, and it will keep you on your toes.

Cons:
A bit hard to ease into, definitely complicated in some parts, but that's about it!

This was a cute little mystery set in a woodland world. I liked the atmosphere, but the mystery wasn’t grabbing me enough to make me too invested in the outcome. Not sure enough breadcrumbs we’re laid to make the ending satisfying enough, but I’m not regretting reading it.

This was such a cozy murder mystery! Some mystery books are very intense and have you biting your nails the whole time, but this one was very relaxing and comforting. I didn't know who the murderer was until the very end, and the plot was much more complex than I thought a book with animals as the main characters ever could be. I will definitely be reading the rest of the series!
