Perfect for you if...

You love cozy mysteries with genuine humour and quirky characters who feel like real people, not caricatures.
You're drawn to stories about starting over and finding unexpected belonging after life goes sideways.
You want a mystery that's clever enough to keep you guessing but light enough to make you laugh out loud.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer dark, gritty crime fiction or mysteries with serious stakes and high body counts.
You're not interested in retirement community settings or aren't charmed by multigenerational ensemble casts.
You want romance to be the central plot rather than a side note in an amateur sleuth's investigation.

About this book

Rosi moves to Tucson Valley Retirement Community at thirty-nine following a difficult divorce, hoping to regroup and figure out her next steps while helping her snowbird parents. She quickly discovers a dead body in the bookstore. As Rosi navigates life among gossip-loving residents, unexpected friendships, and a golden retriever with detective-like tendencies, she realizes retirement living is far quieter than advertised—especially when residents have secrets. When police focus their investigation in the wrong direction and residents become overly interested in the case, Rosi finds herself pulled into a murder investigation she cannot ignore. The first book in the Tucson Valley Retirement Community Cozy Mystery Series, Dying to Go (Nothing to Gush About) features quirky characters, found family dynamics, pickleball drama, and tangled love lives set in Arizona.
