Esther May Morrow's Fruitless
Book Three of the Esther May Morrow Series

by Arthur Everest

     

What would you do if all that you dreamed appeared in a fruit bowl on the sideboard in your living room? A bundle of cash, a diamond the size of a golf ball and a winning lottery ticket are just the beginning for Nick, Geri and Dan. When there are no limits, what will you do? What CAN'T you do?

The text message arrived at the most inopportune time: while Nick was being fired from his job and threatened with total ruination by an arrogant CEO. The message was from his anchor in life, his girlfriend Geri, so he was happy to read it and to do as she asked, "Can u plz pick up a fruit bowl on ur way home. Try Esther May Morrow’s on Trent Street. Thanks. Luv u. G." He'd never heard of Esther May Morrow's Buy and Borrow, but he searched it out, and picked up on the weirdo vibe as soon as he walked in the door. "Make me an offer," she said. He rummaged though his wallet and pulled out a ten-pound note, all the cash he had. She wrote out a receipt. "Everything I own for one glass bowl." and promised not to charge him any more than this if he should want a replacement.

What is Esther May Morrow and why does she play with the lives of humans? As we saw in the previous book, Esther May Morrow's Lot 62 (also reviewed on Myshelf.com), she isn't all-knowing and she doesn't always get it right. But in Fruitless she is right there when Nick and Geri need her most, changing history and the future to make them happy. So vicious imp or bumbling guardian angel? I guess we'll just have to wait on the next installment in this imaginative series to find out more!
