Cooper North has settled in for the night. Outside, a thunderstorm rages. But she's in her living room, reading a thriller, with her new housemate lying beside her chair.
He's Henry, a Pembroke Welsh corgi. He has short legs, but bright eyes, and soaring self-esteem.
Suddenly, a shot. Cooper's window shatters. A bullet just misses her head.
So she's back investigating.
Cooper just retired as a prosecutor. She's tall and lean, with a profile like a gyrfalcon. On the hunt, she's relentless. As one of her police colleagues has said: "Cooper North is a lioness "
She has gray eyes like lasers. She doesn't just look at you. She looks
into you. Apparently, somebody doesn't want her looking, because another shot nearly misses her.
Then, a murder.
Before anyone else dies, Cooper must scour the town, taking a new look at people she's known for decades.
She must dig into the past, too, because-in this old New England town-murder can have deep roots.
Suddenly, there's a new target: Henry, the corgi.
And Cooper finds herself looking into the barrel of a gun.
Here's one reader's reaction to Spider's Web in the Green Mountains- "...a Mack-truck-out-of-nowhere double barrels into a never-saw-it-coming conclusion. On the way to the last chapter, it's also full of sleight-of-hand plot shifts and descriptive subtleties akin to poetry. There's 100% agreement among fellow mystery lovers with whom I've shared this book. We loved it -5 Stars."
Another mystery fan said-
"Really liked the story. Interesting plot with twists. Good characters-5 Stars "
One more reader's comment-
"A retired prosecutor is in the crosshairs of hate. Who wants her dead, her dog injured and her reputation sullied?-4 Stars."
