Jumping (Lumber) Jacks and a Mystery Malady in Maine

Neurologist George Miller Beard had seen a lot of things in his just under forty years on Earth. He was a Civil War veteran, a Yale graduate, a prominent name in sweeping progressive change in the fields of neuroscience and psychiatry, and he was a vocal advocate for the treatment of mental illness and the protection of the mentally ill. Now, his storied career was bringing him to the remote wilderness to observe a group of French-Canadian lumberjacks.

Author @lindaholmes97’s #flyingsolo is a light, fun read set in Maine. As Laurie tries to clean out her great Aunt Dot’s estate, she finds a mystery in the form of a wood duck decoy. Was her Aunt Dot secretly involved with a famous wood carver? An unscrupulous estate dealer tricks her into selling the decoy duck to him for a pittance and her ex-boyfriend and her childhood best friend help her try to recover it. I enjoyed Laurie’s independence and her learning to balance it with relationships. The audiobook (thank you @librofm!) is narrated by the excellent @justjuliawhelan. #audiobookstagram #bookstagram #mainestories #readersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CfKHS5rrqJ1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If Maine was a girl, she’d love snow storms!

Maine to the Rescue: "Oh, the glory of it, the splendor of it! And here--here it is neither fish, flesh, fowl, nor good red herring. A wretched, makeshift season, which they call winter because they don't know what else to call it."
