I have really enjoyed this trilogy with its creative take on cozy mysteries that oddly works so well that you forget the characters are woodland creatures! Vera is my firm favourite but all of them have their own brand of charm even Lefty whose bungled attempts at thieving make you want to suggest he goes straight! We also get to finally meet the much talked about author Bradley Marvel who fancies himself as a Lothario. an investigation and she makes some startling discoveries. Vera's interest is most definitely piqued and that can only mean one thing. How can this be? He's standing right in front of her. The following day a terrified scream pierces the air around Mirror Lake, which turns out to be the rat, Dorothy Springfield who claims her husband Edward has been murdered. Something catches Orville's eye and he then takes them all by surprise by announcing his candidacy for Chief in the upcoming elections. All the occupants of the usually peaceful place are there and they greet Vera Vixen the local reporter and Deputy Orville Braun as they wend their way around. It's mid October in Shady Hollow and there's a glorious blaze of colour surrounding the annual Harvest Festival.
