The Tale of Holly How Mass market paperbound - 2006
by Susan Wittig Albert
In her second mystery, Miss Beatrix Potter has won over the inhabitants of her new home, the sleepy village of Sawrey, England. Here, everyone has a good word to say about local shepherd Ben Hornby. But one day, Beatrix finds Ben dead in the meadow and she suspects foul play.
Summary
Everyone in Sawrey likes Ben Hornby. So when Beatrix finds the shepherd dead in the meadow and suspects foul play, she wonders who would have done such a thing. A trio of village cats has an idea: When Ben breathed his last, his sheep must have seen his killer before scattering. So they set out to find the far-flung flock. Although she’s distracted by duties at the farm and the sad plight of a young girl, Beatrix must get to the bottom of this. As the stories intertwine, Beatrix and the creatures realize that, to solve this case, all of Sawrey, both the two- and four-legged inhabitants, must work together...
