BB Author John Galavan Gets It Absolutely Right With These Two Gentle Mysteries



In John Galavan s Mastering Evil Jack and Anne Logan's Little Bird'N bed and breakfast sits quietly alongside a large marsh on the lonely northern Oregon coast. An unexpected Indian Summer arrives bringing with it a strange collection of guests -- an aging Master of Feng-Shui, an evil female art dealer, a bickering couple and a stuttering woman photographer. During the days and nights to follow the Master must use all of his power to restore calm to the Bird'N while stopping the evil woman and her rough gang from stealing a treasure of Louis Comfort Tiffany windows and lamps from a local reclusive artist. The other guests at the Bird'N, feeling the Master's joy, find long-forgotten romance. There are majestic owls and eagles, lovely little chickadees, hooligan crows, playful jays, a raccoon guest at the Bird'N and a local skunk. All feel the Master's calm and joy -- all that is except the evil female art dealer.

In John Galavan s Monks in the Marsh Jack and Anne Logan's Little Bird'N bed and breakfast sits quietly alongside an expansive marsh on the lonely north Oregon coast. Their stately Victorian beauty is the base for their guest's small adventures, bird watching, beach combing and conversations by the fire with glasses of wine, locally roasted coffee and Jack's marvelous biscotti. Or, this is how it should be! Before dawn, before Thanksgiving morning actually arrives, and too soon for the monks, the door bell rings and rings. A small man nervously shifting from foot to foot in the freezing air on the dimly lit porch. Water running from his nose turning to ice, cheeks blue and eyes darting from door to marsh. Nervous energy keeping the man from freezing. An embezzling Chicago accountant, a trio of monks, a distraught sister, a local lapsed Catholic, and the unexpected arrival of Jack's aunt and uncle combine to make this Thanksgiving weekend at the Bird'N truly unforgettable.
