The fox has a nose for news, so when she catches wind that the death might be a murder, she resolves to get to the bottom of the case, no matter where it leads. Reporter Vera Vixen is a relative newcomer to Shady Hollow. The first book in the Shady Hollow series, in which we are introduced to the village of Shady Hollow, a place where woodland creatures live together in harmony-until a curmudgeonly toad turns up dead and the local reporter has to solve the case.
