Download or read book Ten Golden Fields written by Wen Henagan and published by Author House. This book was released on 2014-09-15 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten Golden Fields is a deliberate attempt to allow readers of fiction tales a more relaxing and fresh venue when they think they have some time to read. We hear tales about reading books falling off various cliffs. I think one reason is because people genuinely are in a nearly permanent hurry mode in their lives. In this book, anyone can read for thirty minutes and take in enough of a story to feel they have consumed something very entertaining and interesting for their soul-psyche. It's unlikely they will forget the characters and the next time they pick up the story to read; it can be a natural continuum. Also, I want these characters to say and do things that make them almost leap out of the pages and into the lives of my readers. To that end, I feel confident in saying that you will remember something about Ten Golden Fields in five years. And that's a very good thing for both of us.

But as a mystery permeates the quiet Pacific Northwestern community, murder is a challenge she’s not prepared to solve . . . Down-on-her-luck Alice had hoped to retire before turning sixty-five, not struggle to keep her cozy home and dependable job. But even after divorce leaves her golden years a mess, the pieces always come together with a little help from her friends—a fun-loving crew who thrive on jigsaws over coffee, cocktails, and gossip. So, when it’s time to defend close confidant Ruby Milliner, she springs into action. Only, in this case, supporting Ruby means proving she didn’t murder her cheating husband!

A quick investigation reveals the man was blackmailing whoever he could for a quick payday, from his mistress to the most prominent residents in town . . . Alice dives into a secret search to exonerate Ruby, fiercely committed to cracking the crime and patching up torn relationships along the way.
