Riassunto

NOT A SEQUEL to "Out on a Limb." Witty banter, suspense, romantic comedy, and fantasy and paranormal elements make for an entertaining romp set in the present day, but touching on history from medieval Chartres to the Civil War. It's a fairy tale where "Da Vinci Code" meets "Murder She Wrote." By USA Today, Audible, and 5-time Wall Street Journal bestselling author Carolyn Jourdan. "The School for Mysteries," is described as “Great fun! A witty romantic adventure and an hilarious successor to Mrs. Pollifax. Makes you realize if Jessica Fletcher had been a nurse, there would’ve been a lot fewer dead bodies littering Cabot Cove.” In "The School for Mysteries" Phoebe McFarland has just lost her job as a rural home health care nurse in White Oak, Tennessee, a sleepy rural community nestled in the mist-shrouded Smoky Mountains. But then she’s unexpectedly offered a ritzy-sounding position as a private duty nurse to an enigmatic scholar. Unfortunately before she can start her upscale new life, Phoebe is unwittingly caught up in a medical emergency with Nick, a total stranger. The mismatched couple is forced to cooperate as they flee professional killers who now have Phoebe in their crosshairs as well. Will Phoebe and friends be able to prevent some scary guys from killing her and Nick over a mysterious book that’s not even finished? Praise for Carolyn Jourdan’s Books Jourdan’s memoir, Heart in the Right Place, is a Wall Street Journal Bestseller (#7 in the nation). It is on hundreds of lists of best books of the year, best book club books, and funniest books. It was chosen as Family Circle magazine's first ever Book of the Month and won the Elle magazine Reader's Prize. Medicine Men: Extreme Appalachian Doctoring reached #1 on all of Amazon Kindle! It was a Wall Street Journal bestseller and also #1 in Non-Fiction, Biography, Memoir, Medicine, Science, and Doctor-Patient Relations. Bear in the Back Seat: Adventures of a Wildlife Ranger in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Volume 1 is a Wall Street Journal Bestseller (#9 in the nation). Volume 2 was recently released. Jourdan’s previous mystery, Out on a Limb was a USA Today best seller.
