If Sherlock Holmes were an animal of the forest, which one would he be?
A keen-eyed lynx? A bear with the best sense
of smell? A wolf with the instincts of a hunter? Not even close! The investigator in this thrillingly readable tale of detection is a creature who seems least qualified for the role – a blind, apparently scatterbrained mole. The thing is, he is not at all as he seems at first.
This forest community is bursting with life, humorous characters and grand plots. This is reading for those not afraid of a little suspense, and who like action and the drama that goes with it.

Pigeon the carrier flew in, greeted everyone respectfully, bowed, then — incredibly — laid into Lieutenant Otter. ‘How dare you stay away so long?’ he yelled in Mrs Otter’s angry voice. ‘The kids won’t know who you are! Do you think I enjoy being stuck here with them? I’m sick of it! If you don’t swim home right now, I’ll pack my things and go to Moth-er’s at the river!’
Pigeon yelled at poor Otter a little longer, adding a few remarks about his inability to organize, attend to, cook or repair anything in the home, before end-ing the message with a few unprintable oaths. Then he bade farewell, bowed out and flew away.
