Shady Hollow: A Murder Mystery (1)

Have you ever wondered what you'd get if Agatha Christie wrote The Wind in the Willows? That's probably the best I can do to describe the feel and premise of this book. Its a cozy village murder mystery in a world of talking, humanoid forest animals. Which is either going to strike one as kind of charming or absolutely bonkers.
It worked better than I thought it might, though it doesn't escape some of the flaws of the cozy murder mystery genre. But if you like cozy murder mysteries and are willing to accept a slightly fantastical premise, it's a quick, entertaining read. And I have certainly read a lot of mysteries I enjoyed less.

I also thought the book reminded me of The Wind in the Willows! Glad someone else thought the same thing.
