THE MOUNTAIN VIEW MURDER
A friendly groundhog. A smiling neighbor. And murder.
Bill O'Shea's retirement is off to a great start. After a career of fighting crime, he moves to the mountain community of Wintergreen, Virginia. Things look up immediately when he meets his attractive neighbor, but then an elderly man is killed in a hit-and-run. Is it an accident or intentional? The short-staffed Wintergreen police department ask Bill to help them find out.
Plenty of suspects soon surface: a former lover, a friend who loaned the victim money, and a suspicious hiker passing by on the Appalachian Trail.
Amidst the investigation, Bill faces repeated distractions, including a thieving black bear, a curious but friendly groundhog, and the aforementioned attractive neighbor.
Can Bill solve the case and keep his new community safe, or will a Wintergreen murderer go free?
The Mountain View Murder is the first book in the Wintergreen Mystery Series and is perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and Louise Penny.
