Death in Paradise
The last place Dr. Helen McCrae, retired literature professor, wanted to spend her golden years was Paradise Cove, Florida. Like all great professors, she’d intended to die at her desk, with her greatest lecture still left ungiven. Until an ill-fated slip while shoveling snow ended her plans.
Now, instead of teaching promising grad students about the intricacies of the Golden Age Detective novel, she’s reshelving books and facilitating book groups in the Paradise Cove Retirement Community’s tiny community library. All the while, trying to prevent her nosy neighbor – and President of the HOA—Stella Vaughn from roping her into getting more involved in the community.
That is, until the day she finds the community’s most hated man, dead on the floor of the Retirement Center’s Candace Long Auditorium with the back of his head bashed in.
When her Sheriff ex-son-in-law wrongfully arrests a retired Hollywood actress for the murder, Helen has no choice but to team up with a group of bored retirees – including the town’s beloved former Sheriff Big Jim Carver—to find the real killer before they strike again.
