Seffi Wardwell Mysteries
Retired science teacher Seffi Wardwell is making herself a

local standards, a tough job ahead breaking down the locals’ suspicion of
outsiders and making friends—and a distressing tendency to find herself in the
middle of murder investigations.

A corpse among the dahlias is no way to start your day.
When a local pariah is killed in a scenic Maine village, no
one seems to care except outsider Seffi Wardwell. Seffi brings her good heart
and decades of experience teaching science to the problem in a race against
indifference on one side and murder on the other.
Here are the links to post #1 post #2 post #3 post #4 and post # 5 of the 2-week trip, for those who want to read it in order.

I'm working my way as fast as I can through editing the photos, but got behind being away from home for a week over Thanksgiving! The last post left off partway through... Day 8 (Sept. 18): After leaving Seythisfjorthur, I spent the rest of the day driving through East Iceland, pulling off the road wherever the spirit moved me to take a short walk or just a photo or two. I drove through some of the villages, even walked around one or two briefly, but didn't stay long anywhere. East Iceland fjords Possibly fish farming? The wind was fierce along here, reducing my desire to get out of the van. In fact, though the wind blew pretty much the whole time I was in Iceland, it was particularly strong from here out. Strei...
It's the last first Wednesday of the month for 2025 (cue "how did we get here so fast?" comments), and time for the IWSG post. Purpose: To share and encourage.
