Book 8 — The Aurora Borealis Affair
Rating: 5 out of 5
Review:
A great story with many unexpected plot twists. It was very hard to put down as i wanted to know what was going to happen next. I have been to most of the places they traveled, so it was nice to “see” them again in this book.
The Story Behind the Story
The aurora borealis is an awesome, somewhat spooky, sight to behold. I’ve watched them from my bedroom window on the dairy farm we worked at in Alaska and even from the upper deck of our home on the hill in Washington (the state). But I always wanted to see them from the arctic circle.
Enter Joan Freed, who can follow through with all my wants and desires – if I let her. Except that, as always, something gets in the way of fulfilling the dream.
If nothing else, a pup, a job, or other family member will put the kibosh on following and living the dream in its entirety. “What was I thinking?” is the question I ask myself almost daily.
And that’s what made this story happen…
The Aurora borealis Affair – Volume 8
What’s more fun than being stuck in rush hour traffic on the 10? How about another adventure with Joan Freed, the rebel life coach who only wants to start fulfilling her bucket list – beginning with seeing the Aurora Borealis up close and personal in Alaska. Alaska because she’s feeling a distinct pull, magnetic if you will, to ‘do’ Alaska as a tourist.
But first she has a coaching client near Mormon Lake who needs her attention. A client named Geraldine who’s not only a character in her own right, but has a plethora of surprises that turns Joan’s life upside down and forces her to unearth and face deeply buried facts about herself.
Jenny, Joan’s wishing she was invisible partner in crime, so to speak, decides to stay the course a little longer along with Patches, the black and white spotted chihuahua, in tow and heads out to the far north with Joan. After three days of actual R & R that the two have finally managed to get after 3000 miles, or so, Jenny voices that she’s bored (that’s a clue).
Joan opens the unlocked door (that’s a clue, too) to her RV to find a redheaded girl in her bed. A redheaded girl who may or may not be a murderer; who may or may not have amnesia; and may or may not have been kidnapped. But she’s definitely from the south and knows how to cook. Is she any good at conniving? Maybe.
This is a novel of personal growth, mystery, adventure, and, of course, lots of mayhem.
See what happens when you leave your door unlocked, and, above all, be careful what you ask for…
If you like Murder She Wrote, Hettie Wainwright, and Rosemary & Thyme, you’ll love this and other Joan Freed Murder/Adventures. Happy Trails and Tales.
