Mockingbird Court

A Shady Hollow Mystery

By: Juneau Black

Narrated by: Cassandra Campbell

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.

Critic reviews

Praise for Mockingbird Court

“I’m pleased to report that Mockingbird Court, the sixth installment in Black’s cozy Shady Hollow series, is the best of the bunch.”

"Black delivers all the charm and warmth the series is known for, while adding an emotional depth that makes this farewell installment especially resonant. A comforting, autumn-tinged mystery that feels like wrapping your hands around a hot mug on a chilly day."

One of the best books in the series

I really enjoyed the new Shady Hollow mystery, it's cozy, it's smart, it's quirky and whimsical.. Just what the doctor ordered! Really, really recommend!

I’m Sad I finished it so Fast!

Im so sad it’s over. I tried to wait a few weeks before starting the newest book in the series knowing that onceIl I stated I would be instantly drawn in. I was right! This was an excellent addition to the series and I couldn’t wait to hear what happened next.

I love this series! It is the perfect cozy mystery. I love the world the author has so vividly created. I love the town of Shady Hallow and all of its inhabitants. I love the main characters and the new characters that are introduced in each story. I really loved how the author brought back characters from past books in this series and started linking and expanding on previous storylines. It makes the series feel very cohesive. If you have not delved into the magical world of Shady Hallow yet, what are you waiting for?
