Best by Farr

Empty nester Kate Farr is about to turn 50. Husband Martin gifts her a fortnight at a French cooking school to celebrate. Fabulous, right? But when Kate gets to the Loire Valley, she finds the school has been cancelled, and no one is expecting her. Martin is not answering his phone, and Kate's got a fistful of euros and no idea what to do next. Meanwhile, her dad in Melbourne drops a bombshell, but could that just be his dementia? Kate's tribe of gal pals, The Triple Threats, also send shockwaves with some startling news. Then there's the suspicious death; who can Kate trust? And how on earth does she find herself in a dungeon, a police cell, and a jungle, and with a brand new best friend, a very old dog called Roger. And what is she doing, working as a funeral photographer and an international truck driver? When no one knows where you are, no one needs you, and you've got all the time in the world but have lost everything along the way, what exactly do you do next?
