Retirement Can Be Murder

Retirement Can Be Murder

What if retirement isnโ€™t the utopia itโ€™s cracked up to be?

Helen Rogersย never imagined that sheโ€™d be bored at Sunny Days Retirement Village in lovely Peachtree Valley, Georgia, but she wasnโ€™t expecting to start this phase of life as early as her fifties, either. Then fate gave her a hand in solving her friendโ€™s murder, and the sense of accomplishment was heady.

But was it a fluke?

Fate answers again when she stumbles over her second dead body, the cityโ€™s deputy mayor.

The corpse is barely cold before the mayorโ€™s wife is killed in a suspicious accident. Bodies are piling upโ€”so Helen and her buddy, Carol Adams, take the next step: enroll in PI classes, apply for her license, and open an official investigation firm.

Helen has found her purpose, and it comes with new partners and a handsome assistant, Ted Morgan.

Yet business will grind to halt before it gets off the ground unless she can break open the truth. Plenty of folks have a motive, but which one of the suspects is desperate enough to plan such elaborate murders?

Retirement Can Be Deadly

Retirement Can Be Deadly

One of Peachtree Valleyโ€™s favorite persons, the town librarian, has been found murdered, but the victimโ€™s grieving family doesnโ€™t trust the new police chief to get to the bottom of this crime. The ink is barely dry on Helen's PI license or the new Rogers, Adams, and Brown Private Investigations sign on her door, and already she's had a high profile case land on her doorstep.

She and her associates are eager to dig into the details, but none of the clues are adding up to anything that makes a lick of sense. Even Dixie and Kirk, the newest additions to the team, find themselves hitting brick walls out in the field. That is, until they butt heads with members of a new church in town that turns out to be a cult in disguise.

Is this the missing piece to the puzzle they need to break open the case? The only way to find out is to beat the worshippers at their own game, a strategy that could bring Helen and her boyfriend Ted closer, or tear the entire firm apart.
