Beneath the Trees - Where No One Sees You 01

"Murder and forensics have never been so cuddly!" - Patton Oswalt

In Woodbrook, there's only one rule: Never murder your neighbors.

For Samantha Strong, a sympathetic brown bear with a thriving business and a dark secret, this rule is self-evident. Behind her friendly facade, she leads a double life as a serial killer. However, she carefully chooses her victims outside the idyllic small town – after all, she doesn't want to jeopardize the peaceful life in Woodbrook at any cost.

But when a resident of the town suddenly dies a cruel death, it's clear: Someone else has also started killing. For Samantha, this is not only a shock but also a threat to her carefully constructed existence. Before more victims follow and Sheriff Patterson pursues the wrong leads, she herself hunts for the unknown killer.

With Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees, Patrick Horvath delivers an extraordinary comic debut – a dark yet blackly humorous thriller that casts cute, talking animals in a whole new light. An unusual mix of small-town idyll, crime story, and psychological thriller that lingers long in the memory.
