Against the routine backdrop of a small New England town, Andrea O'Connor successfully weaves a gripping page-turner, ending with a bang. The fictional town, Woodson Falls, is itself an expertly drawn character and O'Connor's knowledge of her terrain is masterful right down to the most obscure zoning ordinance. Woodson Falls: 16 Lakeview Terrace is perfect for mystery lovers, and her spirited protagonist, Attorney Gaby Quinn, resonates so strongly that one wonders what other mysteries she might unravel in other novels. - Don Lowe, First Selectman, Sherman, CT O'Connor gets the pace and detail of small town, rural Connecticut, the land of steady habits, just right, in her first mystery. Her background as a nurse, an attorney, and a hands-on elected official really shines through in her descriptions of local land use policy and probate courts, which she makes easily understandable, all the while cleverly hiding clues among these mundane topics.

As she delves into the case, she finds herself drawn into the dark landscape of his life; the tension builds as she discovers the shocking truth about him.

Goodwin, author of Model Child and The Stephen Hawking Death Row Fan Club Everyone wants a small New England town to be peaceful and predictable with the safety and security not found in the drama of the Big Apple.
