Concord Public Library book of the week

Live Free or Die

Jessie Crockett

2010, 272 pages

Fiction

Winslow Falls is every small town in New Hampshire, filled with all the characters you could meet on the streets, in the shops, and just passing through. As deputy fire chief, the last thing Gwen expects to be put in charge of is a murder investigation. But, dressed in her sushi pajamas, that’s exactly where she finds herself.

As the snow piles up and Christmas speeds along like a sled on an ice hill, she has to poke her nose into everyone’s lives to try to figure out what’s going on. In a town where everyone knows everything about everyone, but that no one wants anyone to uncover their secrets, it’s not something that wins her any brownie points with the locals.

Overwhelmed with her sister’s arrival, faced with more fires, a state fire marshal with hair as red as the fires that have been plaguing the town, it’s all Gwen can do to wrap everything up with enough time to wrap some presents.
