"It's late August in Shady Hollow, and the heat has intrepid reporter Vera Vixen eager to get away. She agrees to chaperone the annual field trip to Summers End, an ancient tomb built by an early woodland culture, along with her good friend Lenore Lee to come with her. But when the two enter the tomb, they find bones that are distinctly more...modern. Digging a little deeper, Vera and Lenore discover that the deceased was involved in a recent excavation at the site, and very unpopular with their colleagues. Now the fox and raven have to delve into the dark world of academia and archaeology to determine which creature thought they were clever enough to get away with the perfect murder"--

Die neue, charmante, herzerwärmende Krimiserie! Hier ermittelt Füchsin und Reporterin Vera Vixen. Tief in den Wäldern, weit entfernt von jeglicher menschlicher Behausung schlummert ein Geheimnis: Hier befindet sich das Städtchen Shady Hollow. Hier leben Elch und Maus, Eule und Bär Seite an Seite - harmonisch und zivilisiert. Es gibt ein kleines Café, ein Restaurant, eine Buchhandlung, eine Sägemühle, eine Zeitungsredaktion. Alles geht seinen Gang ... Bis der Kröterich vom Mühlteich, Otto Sumpf, der notorische Meckerer, ermordet aufgefunden wird. Das hat selbst diese gemeine Kröte nicht verdient. So etwas hat es in Shady Hollow noch nicht gegeben!  Die Füchsin Vera Vixen ist neu am Ort. Als Journalistin hat sie eine Spürnase für gute Storys. Da der Bär Chief Meade von der örtlichen Wache lieber das Polizeiboot zum Angeln mitnimmt, als den Fall zu lösen, wittert Vera ihre Chance. Sie übernimmt die Ermittlung auf eigene Pfote ... «Die perfekte Cosy-Mystery-Lektüre. Mit genau der richtigen Menge an wohltuender Fantasie, die Licht in jede dunkle Stunde bringt.» criminalelement.com
