Shady Hollow (A Shady Hollow Mystery)
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.
Reporter Vera Vixen is a relative newcomer to Shady Hollow. 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. As she stirs up still waters, the fox exposes more than one mystery, and discovers that additional lives are in jeopardy.
Vera finds more to this town than she ever suspected. It seems someone in the Hollow will do anything to keep her from solving the murder, and soon it will take all of Vera’s cunning and quickness to crack the case.

I totally get what "cozy murder mystery" means now. I really enjoyed this and how easy it was to get into. Yes, the creatures are animals, but that doesn't get in the way of them having full personalities or interests. They are very humanoid and all coexist.
I picked up the second one before finishing this one because I knew I would like it, and I was right. Highly recommend if you're looking for something easy, but it is a murder mystery so, spoiler alert, creatures get murdered.

I loved this story! It was a gentle murder mystery in a world full of talking animals. I didn't realize it was a series when I purchased it, but I am very much looking forward to the next book.
