Life's been a beach for Bunny Elder since her pastor husband's murder, so where better to try to begin a new life than a small tourist town on the beautiful Oregon Coast?
A midlife identity crisis prompts a career change and this former pastor's wife steps into uncharted waters attempting to become a freelance writer. She hopes the sun, sand and sea will inspire and heal.
New career, new friends, and a possible new romance make life by the seaside seem idyllic until an innocent walk on the beach introduces Bunny to the world of International criminals and the horrific reality of human trafficking.
Seadrift (Bunny Elder #3) Reviews
-
Bunny tries earnestly to be a good, Christian person, despite her natural tendencies that might lead her in another direction. Her good is fought for within her mind and heart, and we are often privy to those struggles. But this is not a "Christian Novel". This is just a book about a woman, who has as part of her character her religious faith.
Much of the humor in Seadrift comes from the incongruousness of innocuous Bunny being hunted down by psychopaths. And because Bunny is so self-effacing and demur, the authorities don't take her complaints seriously, which only makes her situation more dire.
I enjoyed it all: the dry humor, the ironical situations, the skillful placing of information for the reader, the view into Bunny's very-real-feeling mind, and the insights into the life of a god-fearing woman (women, actually) in a dangerous world that still has to deal with that great-evil, slavery.
I especially loved Bunny's niece's appraisal of her aunt: "Her aunt seemed like such a nice, ordinary middle-aged woman, but within that plain brown wrapper beat the heart of a tigress."
The seemingly extraneous details, such as Bunny's home decorating and entertaining achievements, play a role in Bunny's adventures, too, because the adventure that continues through the 4 books in this series (Bunny Elder Adventure Series) is Bunny's road to personal growth and self-realization. The author makes her a positive example for all women-of-a-certain-age who have to start over in life. -
Similar to the first-the church stuff is a little overbearing and starkly contrasting the very dark bad guys. Still don't like Max at all.
