Twilight Falls<\/em><\/a> (2023) Juneau Black<\/a> (Shady Hollow)<\/p>\n

\"Twilight<\/a>It’s spring in Shady Hollow, and romance is everywhere. Vera even convinces Orville to take her on a picnic to the famous Twilight Falls.<\/p>\n

Wooden rails had been erected close to the banks to prevent anyone from straying too close. And for good reason: the flow was swift here, the water deceptively quiet as it rushed toward the precipice and then over into nothingness. Parents kept sharp eyes on their young ones, often grabbing their offspring by the backs of their shirts\u2014or just their tails\u2014to prevent a curious creature from getting into danger.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But while they are there, tragedy strikes when the town handyman is seen struggling with someone atop the falls–and then disappearing over the falls–just after arguing with his son, Jonah, and Jonah’s sweetheart, Stasia von Beverpelt.<\/p>\n

You probably know that otters and beavers don\u2019t have the best history. Back in the old days, when it mattered if a river was dammed up or free-flowing, things were tense. Otters hate obstructions, even though they can just get out of the water whenever they please. It\u2019s not like they\u2019re fish!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is another delightful story. I may figured out the mystery early on, but the story is so delightful and lovely it didn’t matter in the slightest. <\/p>\n

I mean, the beaver lawyer was from the firm Castor & Castor!<\/p>\n

Also, this was the second story I read recently that had a ribbon wrapping as part of a wedding ceremony.<\/p>\n
