Forgotten Bones in Shady Hollow

Autumn has come to Shady Hollow, and the aroma of baked apples and pears grown in the Cold Gardens wafts through the area. But this year, the gardens will yield quite a creepy harvest…
Life in Shady Hollow is getting back... to normal after the terrible crimes. The residents need nothing but good news and, of course, gossip to lift their spirits. But the clever journalist fox Vera Vixen is already missing sensational headlines! And her instincts tell her that something is bound to happen soon. This is exactly the case when rabbits stumble upon buried bones in the Cold Gardens…
It quickly becomes clear that the skeleton belongs to a cow moose. And there is only one family of moose living in Shady Hollow, which runs the beloved coffee shop “A Cup with Joe.” The strangest thing is that Joe's wife went missing several years ago. The brave detective Orville has no choice but to take the only suspect in for questioning. Outraged by this decision, Vera takes on her own investigation. She doesn’t believe that the good-natured moose could be the villain. However, this means that a killer has been hiding in Shady Hollow for many years…
 
Juno Black is the pen name of authors Jocelyn Cole and Sharon Nagel. They both love good bookstores, high-quality cheeses, and skillfully committed murders (only in literary works). Although they are two different people, if you ask either of them about her childhood, you will likely get the same answer. This is a bit disconcerting for a number of reasons.
