The second book in the Shady Hollow series, in which some long-buried secrets come to light, throwing suspicion on a beloved local denizen.It's autumn in Shady Hollow, and residents are looking forward to harvest feasts. But then a rabbit discovers a grisly crop: the bones of a moose. Soon, the owner of Joe's Mug is dragged out of the coffeeshop and questioned by the police about the night his wife walked out of his life—and Shady Hollow—forever. It seems like an open-and-shut case, but dogged reporter Vera Vixen doesn't believe gentle Joe is a killer. She'll do anything to prove his innocence ... even if it means digging into secrets her neighbors would rather leave buried. A VINTAGE CRIME/BLACK LIZARD ORIGINAL.

"Cold Clay by Juneau Black
4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
This was a quick cozy mystery, a little transparent but enjoyable nonetheless. Being book 2 in the series I was ready to enjoy my time back in this world. Those reading the series I challenge you to find the Poe and Christie Easter Eggs!"

"It’s so cozy and really easy to read. Frankly, the mystery was extremely translucent. I was waiting for an unpredictable twist but it never really happened "

"It was a nice woodland creature mystery. I greatly enjoyed this 2nd in the series. Now I’m on to Mirror Lake."

"This second book is a little slower than the first but I absolutely loved it. The relationship building up between Vera and Orville is adorable. We also learn more about Joe and his relationship with his ex-wife. Also want to add, I appreciate Lenore & Vera's friendship."

"Shady Hollow is once again victim of a murder, so it's up to Vera to find the truth and bring peace of mind to her fellow neighbours and herself.<br/><br/><br/>Head over heels for this book and its setting and its everything to be honest. I'm already getting sad at the idea of missing just two installments of it all. I'm not good at saying goodbye. Or being patient for that matter.<br/>I might have to space them off a bit more solely to avoid making myself upset."

"This book is very good. I will say it seems a bit slower than the first in the series, but regardless, the storytelling is magical! Perfect for rainy days and warm herbal tea."

"Yet another stunning mystery by Juneau black. The story has far less suspects than the last one but I love how you get to piece together the clues with Vera. Vera's character is way more flushed out. "
