review 1: I loved this. A little bit of everything in this story: murder, history, romance and yes, murder. I loved that our heroine, Gwen, is just a normal gal. Not beautiful, not model slim, but spunky, hard working and "normal." She knits, is the mother of two boys and her deceased husband cheated on her but yet she handles everything that comes her way with common sense and for the most part humor. I love some of her come-backs to Hugh, the fire investigator. Looking forward to the 2nd in the series.
review 2: 'Live Free or Die' was a nice cozy mystery read. The story wasn't great literature, but then a cozy usually isn't. The story was pleasant and not over taxing. Forty-seven year old Post Master/Fire chief Gwen was the main character. She lives in a small town
... more called Winslow Falls in New Hampshire. Her life was pretty routine until one of her elderly friends was murdered and her body was left to burn in a museum. There's a potential love interest, a free spirited sister, and a bunch of old men with questionable hygiene. I may not read another book by Crockett, if I have to read about mucus or ear wax issues again. Just gross. The police chief, of course, is beyond incompetent. That allows Gwen to get more involved with the murder case. However I think Ray's ignorant and borderline abusive personality was too much. Other than the way law enforcement is depicted and the old guys' hygiene or lask there of, I liked the book. less

Good; quite funny & I like that the lead character was a "real" person & not some female James Bond.

Quick short read. Liked the relationship between Hugh and Gwen. Pretty predictable.
