A friend recommended this book to me, and what a strong recommendation! Beatrix Potter meets Agatha Christie in the cozy setting of Shady Hollow, a typically quiet small town now in a tizzy with the news that a murderer is in their midst! While the story is charming, Shady Hollow itself is the real star. You can feel the love the authors poured into the setting and the creatures living there on every page, making you want to spend just a little more time there––so much so that I almost missed my subway stop on more than one occasion while reading!
