Publisher's summary

Four ex-cops in a retirement paradise. Sure they’ll rest...when the killer is caught.

After a long career as a police officer, Moira hopes a move to a luxury retirement community will mean she can finally leave the detective work to the youngsters and focus on a quieter life. But it turns out The Homestead is far from paradise. When she discovers the body of a young woman floating in one of the pools, surrounded by thousands of dollar bills, her crime-fighting instinct kicks back in and she joins up with fellow ex-cops - and new neighbours - Philip, Lizzie and Rick to investigate the murder.

With the case officers dropping ball after ball, Moira and the gang take matters into their own hands, turning undercover homicide investigators. But the killer is desperate to destroy all the evidence and Moira, Philip, Lizzie and Rick soon find themselves getting in the way - of the murderer and the police.

Just when they thought they could finally relax, they discover that someone has infiltrated their ‘safe’ community. Can they hunt down the murderer and get back to retiring in peace? And after all the excitement, will they want to?

Ok story

Details were too many, too long, and recapping them too often. Story had promise though.

Terrific Crime Fiction!

Retired British investigators join forces to solve crimes in Florida. This fast paced novel reveals charismatic characters and engaging subplots. Readers find themselves anxious for book #2 in this series. Great narration.

Retired detectives rule!

Enjoyed the straightforward story and action with just enough suspense to keep me thinking and enough details without being overwhelming. And I appreciate the experience and personalities of the retired detectives. 😊

Decent Story but a bit too much angst!

The story was somewhat entertaining but every character seemed to be hiding a fatal flaw they were not fatal flaws. It became repetitive and kept me skipping forward. I will listen to the next book in the series to see if improves or they keep lamenting their pasts.

Very Enjoyable!

I throughly enjoyed this book! Kept me guessing who the killer was and kept me thoroughly engaged! Great character development and main characters are all very likeable. Narrator was wonderful. I do hope the author makes this a series and if so, I cannot wait for the next one!!! I highly recommend this book!
