Just like the first installment of Shady Hollow, Cold Clay is a perfect, bite-sized cozy mystery. It leads you through the charming town of Shady Hollow and introduces you a delightful cast of characters, both familiar and new. The mystery may not be as strong, but the steady stream of clues makes you feel like you're solving it alongside Vera at a much more even pace than the first installment in the series.
Minor: Animal death, Classism, Abandonment, Death of parent, and Toxic friendship
