Mirror Lake

A Shady Hollow Mystery

De: Juneau Black

Narrado por: Cassandra Campbell

The third novel in the Shady Hollow mystery series, in which Vera Vixen takes on her most challenging case yet: solving the murder of a rat who appears to still be alive.

Change is afoot in Shady Hollow, with an unusually tense election shaping up between long-serving Chief of Police Theodore Meade and Vera's beau, Deputy Orville Braun. But the political tension takes a back seat when resident eccentric Dorothy Springfield becomes convinced her beloved husband, Edward, is dead, and that the rat claiming to be him is actually a fraud.

While most of the town dismisses Dorothy's rants as nothing more than a delusion, Vera has her doubts. More than a few things don't add up in the Springfield household, but Vera will have to tread carefully, since, with Orville's attention on the election, she may be more exposed than ever.

A VINTAGE CRIME/BLACK LIZARD ORIGINAL.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for The Shady Hollow Mystery series:

“Black’s books — Shady Hollow, Cold Clay and Mirror Lake . . . have become my favorite new comfort reads. The plotting is sharp, the prose lean and the atmosphere pure joy. Vixen and the rest of the critters never feel like anthropomorphic Disney cartoon characters. I eagerly await a fresh infusion of Shady Hollow mayhem.”
—The New York Times

“Watership Down meets Mickey Spillane. A mystery of rare and sinister charm.”
—Alan Bradley, New York Times bestselling author of the Flavia de Luce series

“A magical confection that will leave you nostalgic for the storybooks of your youth. It’s quirky and clever, charming and smart. I read Shady Hollow in one sitting and can’t wait for more!”
—Sarah Addison Allen, New York Times bestselling author of First Frost

“Need a book to curl up with by the fire? This is it! Shady Hollow must be the coziest of cozy crime stories. It’s a whimsical woodland murder mystery like no other! I not only enjoyed reading about it—I want to live there, surrounded by enigmatic pandas, diligent mice and well-read corvids. I have to try the food, listen to the gossip and visit the tiny café—and I don't even care that there is a murderer on the loose!”
—Leonie Swann, bestselling author of Three Bags Full

Fantastic series

I adore this cozy mystery series. I do hope the authors will continue writing!! It’s wonderful

Delightful suspense and cozy at the same time

The author did a wonderful job setting the scene and making the characters feel very human and their creature personas. I love how beautifully she paints the seasonal attributes that make the whole story knit well together in a very cozy suspenseful drama. Was thoroughly delighted by the characters and the overall storyline that kept me coming back for the next turn of events. This was my first book in her series and I am excited to delve into others I am so glad I stumbled upon this gem.

I love the Shady Hollow series!!

I think this is my favorite yet, though each book in this series is delightful! I hope there will be more!

Super cozy and a wonderful addition

I love the Shady Hollow series and this was no exception. Can't wait for the next one!

Coziest Atmosphere

This series has the most cozy setting and delightful lead characters. The problem is that all the mysteries are easy to solve in the first 30% of the novel. As soon as the murderer is introduced, you know immediately. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Thr authors need to push themselves to spruce up the twists and endings.

Cozy Mystery

I Love all books by Juneau Black. I can't wait for the next book release.

Cute story
