I enjoyed reading this book. I liked the characters and was interested from the start. I did learn a lot about endangered flora and trees

Below the Tree Line is an engrossing and tense mystery thriller about the greed, encroachment and attempted theft from individuals, conmen and professional developers within a small, close-knit rural community. Following a series of highly suspicious incidents, Felicity, a lone small-holder, decides to find out what is really going on! Although a little slow to start, the book soon earned its 5 stars! A thoroughly good read!

Felecity lives in rural forested area in MA. She tends for her familie's farm since her mom has passed away and her dad is in a nursing home. She also tends artist's sheep at her farm. When a stranger comes to town trying to buy up everyone's farms and land she and the other farmers become suspicious. 3 strange deaths in such a small area don't add up either-two of the victims cars were tampered with. Who is this stranger and what does he want the land for? Who is killing 3 of their townspeople? Sometimes I felt there was too much detail about the land/trees etc. but I guess it was needed for the plot of the story. Otherwise a good mystery.
