It's autumn in Shady Hollow, and residents are looking forward to harvest feasts. But then a rabbit discovers a grisly crop: the bones of a moose.
Soon, the owner of Joe's Mug is dragged out of the coffeeshop and questioned by the police about the night his wife walked out of his life—and Shady Hollow—forever. It seems like an open-and-shut case, but dogged reporter Vera Vixen doesn't believe gentle Joe is a killer. She'll do anything to prove his innocence ... even if it means digging into secrets her neighbors would rather leave buried.
A VINTAGE CRIME/BLACK LIZARD ORIGINAL.

The pseudonymous Black’s lame sequel to Shady Hollow revisits the village of Shady Hollow, whose inhabitants amount to clichéd humans in animal form. Vera Vixen (a fox), intrepid reporter for the Shady Hollow Herald, is at Cold Clay Orchards interviewing the rabbit workers about the coming harvest when bunnies Ralph and Peter uncover the bones of a large mammal. The medical examiner, Dr. Broadhead (a snake), slithers up and determines that the remains belong to a moose. Could this be the final resting place of Julia, a moose who disappeared some years earlier? It doesn’t take long for Vera’s budding sweetheart, Deputy Orville Braun (a bear), who has learned his detecting skills from The Big Book of Policing, to make Joe, Julia’s moose husband, suspect number one. Vera investigates, even though Orville warns her to stay out of police business. This entry, with its obvious culprit and standard-issue plot, shows that giving a character fur or wings is no substitute for an original, well-rounded personality. Even cozy readers will find it wanting.
