This book was exactly as cute as I expected! The cozy noir vibes were spot on, creating a whimsical yet intriguing atmosphere. Vera Vixen made for a clever and determined protagonist, and her sleuthing through the village of Shady Hollow was a joy to follow.

Cassandra Campbell’s narration was a standout, elevating the story with her effortless delivery and the perfect touch of classic noir flair. It reminded me of old-school detective stories, making the experience all the more enjoyable.

If you love cozy mysteries with a unique twist, Shady Hollow is a must-read (or listen)! The blend of charming woodland characters and murderous intrigue makes it an irresistible treat.
