A walk in the gardens, and then home to the cats.

Ryn Shell art. poppies, daffodil- and forsythia

Reg and I had a lovely stroll this spring afternoon through the many parklands of Shepparton.

I had forgotten how fragrant wisteria was until I came near these. I thought these gardens were Just beautiful.

We had been out searching for the perfect gift for a friend but preferred to spend our time in the gardens than to join the crowds in stores. I might just look online for some ideas about what to buy. I far prefer online shopping when I live in the country; it offers a variety and quality I would have to go to the larger towns to get.

I have been trying for the last four months to buy a thermos yogurt maker for caravan touring, and none of the supermarkets I go to are large enough to stock things like that. Lack of shopping product range is the only disadvantage I see to country living, all the rest of country living I love.

Open Mystery

Ruth Randall's novel "A Judgement in Stone," opens with this line.
"Eunice Parchman killed the Coverdale family because she could not read or write."
In open mystery novel, the reader knows who the murderer is, from the beginning; the mystery is why, and how, they did it, and if they will be caught.
In The Stolen Years series of novels, the reader has a view of who commits many of the crimes. There is plenty of suspense while no one else suspects who the murderer is.

Rural Noir

Noir or hardboiled, often detective fiction is a genre of crime novels featuring detectives or private detectives who see the dark, edgy side of life. As in The Stoles Years, Ryn Shell is writing of a dark side of Australian history these novels fit the rural noir sub-genre. These novels by Ryn Shell are lightened, to make the reading enjoyable, by the family saga story of resilience and love.
