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!

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!

It was cliche and quite bland. Eh.
