Life Breaking In

Calinda Franklin starts her third year of teaching at the Cooper School with close friends, a sweetheart, and a windfall inheritance. Suddenly, her altruistic plans for her new fortune are thwarted by a narrow-minded town council and a corrupt ski resort. Then, when a student dies in tragic circumstances, it seems like things can’t get worse. But they do.

The Second Episode in the Cooper School Novels . . .

Life Breaking In is a Cozy Mystery that dances right up the line of our difficult modern issues. Is Stella’s death a suicide or a murder? Is a construction site on Indigenous land? Two relationships are on the rocks while these and other questions are looming large. All the while the students at the school have to decide if they are safe enough to stay at the school or if they should leave early and go home to their parents.
