Have you ever felt a little sad when starting the latest book in a beloved series? Raises hand. It was announced early on that Mockingbird Court would be the final book in the Shady Hollow collection—a series I’ve grown to adore for its cozy charm, whimsical storytelling, and light-hearted themes. Every adventure left me with that perfect feel-good vibe.
Autumn has arrived in Shady Hollow, and preparations for the annual Harvest Festival are in full swing. Vera Vixen, our favorite reporter from the Shady Hollow Herald, has just returned from a crucial assignment in the city when she's surprised by an unexpected visitor—Bradley Marvel, a renowned author and old friend. He’s in trouble!
A dead body has been discovered in his apartment, and he’s desperate for Vera’s help, insisting he’s innocent.
Vera soon discovers she has a connection to the victim, turning her world completely upside down. When a detective from the city arrives, accusations and gossip begin to swirl around her. Now, it’s up to Vera to clear her name—and uncover whether Bradley Marvel is really the one responsible. Will Vera uncover that the story runs far deeper than anyone ever imagined?
I love that this book offers a glimpse into Vera’s backstory. Returning readers will enjoy the familiar banter between characters, along with heartfelt themes of small-town dynamics, friendship, loyalty, and the bonds of found family.
I’m sure I’ll return to this series again and again, and hope Shady Hollow isn’t gone for good. If you’re looking for a cozy mystery filled with charming woodland animal characters, I highly recommend it.
