Juneau Black is back with Mockingbird Court, the sixth installment in the cozy Shady Hollow Mystery Series featuring a colorful cast of anthropomorphic woodland creatures living together in harmony until interrupted by the occasional murder. Journalist turned investigator Vera Vixen (who, incidentally, also is a fox) is on the case to find another killer — and this time she knows the victim. Fun fact: Juneau Black is the pen name for authors Sharon Nagel, from Wisconsin, and Philadelphia-based Jocelyn Cole, and both will be on hand to discuss this final entry in the series. 

media release: About the Book: In the latest installment in the beloved Shady Hollow series, everyone’s favorite vulpine investigator Vera Vixen must contend with a cold-hearted killer—and the ghost of her own past.

It’s a crisp, cool autumn in Shady Hollow, and preparations are underway for the annual Harvest Festival. Creatures have flocked from far and wide to partake in the seasonal festivities, from pumpkin carving to pie tasting to soup throwing. With all these new faces around town, it’s the perfect time for someone to slip in unnoticed.

Unless that someone is Bradley Marvel, the most famous author—and most noticeable personality—in any woodland warren. It seems the wolf is on the lam. Back in the city, a body was found in his penthouse apartment at Mockingbird Court, and Marvel skipped town before the questioning could commence. 

Marvel claims to be innocent, and  it’s up to Vera and her friends to piece together what might have happened that fateful night so many miles away in the beating heart of the big city. But things get complicated when Vera learns that she also knows the victim … and might even be implicated herself.

About the Authors: JUNEAU BLACK is the pen name of authors Jocelyn Cole and Sharon Nagel. They share a love of excellent bookshops, fine cheeses, and good murders (in fictional form only). Though they are two separate people, if you ask either of them a question about their childhood, you are likely to get the same answer. This is a little unnerving for any number of reasons.
