Description:
Amber Warning is a travel-infused whodunit with a fast, page-turning plot. As much comedy as cosy crime, a sleuthing pair who don't take themselves too seriously investigate on the Isle of Lewis and Harris.
Brief description: Joana Snowdon has made her home in Scotland, not far from the North Sea. She'll tell you the salty air and endless horizon are just the thing for plotting a good twist. British humour is never far away either. Joana loves the dry wit, and it tends to sneak into her writing.The Highlands have a way of calling Joana back, again and again. It didn't take her long to see that these wild landscapes were made for a mystery or two. That's how The Highland Mysteries found their beginning.Joana's stories have their fair share of secrets and the odd corpse, but you won't find gloom for the sake of it. She prefers to leave the grisly details to someone else, believing there's enough of that in real life. Her mysteries are meant to entertain and amuse, giving readers a chance to slip away for a while, enjoy a clever twist, and maybe even laugh out loud before returning to reality.
