Bearied Treasure
What do you get when you mix a 1920's cult, a couple of interior designers, the Pacific Northwest, a small fortune in gold, and a Kodiak bear? You get this clever and adventurous "what if" story weaving real-life historical characters with the imagination of Ted Mulcahay- Bearied Treasure . Are you struggling in life? Maybe you have an addiction or you're in a bad marriage. Perhaps you simply need a new beginning... Brother XII is waiting for you on DeCourcy Island, just off the coast of British Columbia where he is the remnant of a cult that resided on the island in the 1920s. There he is recreating the idyllic setting his grandfather started with the Aquarian Foundation. But rumors abound about a stash of gold hidden somewhere on the island from the commune's founding days. And with those rumors come scammers in search of the treasure. Join interior design husband and wife Kevin and Jenne O'Malley, along with commune members and con men as they search for hidden fortune in an otherwise unassuming Pacific Northwest refuge. This tongue-in-cheek tale of fiction is based loosely on real people and places. Will the con artists make off with the gold? Will the O'Malleys be able to help stop them? What will become of Brother XII and the other members of the cult? What's the deal with the bear?

I love a book that is set in the PNW! As someone who grew up here, it always brings me joy. I feel like the author did a wonderful job of connecting the setting to the story. I found this book to be an interesting one with a bit of mystery with twists. I think the way the author was to include the scenery with the character's world as well as the time period was done very well. I got the feeling the author did their research. It felt like a well-thought-out story. I enjoyed the overall story. I see there are a few more books in the series, I shall check them out.

A unique mystery set in the Pacific northwest, Bearied Treasure by Ted Mulcahey is full of fun surprises. Each character brings something distinctive to the story, including an extraordinary bear. Readers should expect to laugh out loud, ponder life, and thoroughly enjoy this book.
