Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees is by Patrick Horvath. The fist in a new series of graphic novels; think Shady Hollow meets Dexter. Sam Strong is an adorable brown bear who lives in the quite community of Woodbrook. She is also a serial killer whose number one rule is "Don't Murder the Locals." For years she has been driving to a nearby large city to obtain her victims. Imagine her surprise when another serial killer starts murdering the residents of Woodbrook. Sam must find this person and stop them before the police start asking uncomfortable questions that might lead them to her. The illustrations are charming, but this is very dark and not my wheelhouse - although it will definitely find an audience. If you are looking for a read-alike to the Shady Hollow series - this isn't it - unless you want to say it's Shady Hollow, as written by Stephen King.
Ratings: 12th grade - 6 out of 10 - V (violence) - AC (mature thematic content).
