Cooley's Panther is a delightful short story about Nicola Johansen, AKA Cooley, and her desire for a "quiet, suburban and without surprises" neighborhood. She's even a little too driven by that desire but I can identify with her. I too want my neighbors to keep their lawns well-manicured and the last thing I want to find lurking about in my yard is a large panther.I'd pretty much guessed the ending but I still enjoyed the story. I wish it were longer - I read it one evening after going to bed and finished it before falling asleep. Maybe, just maybe, the author will write a follow-up. (Hint, hint!)
