Thirty-nine-year-old Rosi Laruee—named Rosisophia Doroche after her mother’s beloved Golden Girls—decides that the end of her twenty-year marriage and her dad’s impending knee replacement surgery are all the excuses she needs to visit Tucson Valley Retirement Community. But the drama follows Rosi when she finds the body of local tart and business owner, Salem Mansfield. The information she discovers using her newspaper reporter sleuthing skills coupled with the clues she picks up from lackluster Police Officer Dan Daniel lead to a surprise discovery when the murderer is revealed. Along the way, she meets a cast of characters in her parents’ social circle who leave her questioning her parents’ choices in friends while simultaneously befriending many of the residents, including a handsome landscaper and a brand-new Golden Retriever puppy she names Barley. Rosi’s visit to Tucson Valley proves more than she’d bargained for, but maybe, she realizes, it’s just the kind of change she needs.Laugh out loud with Rosi, and be prepared to get the happy feels along the way!Book 2Dying For Wine (Seeing Red)Book 3 Dying For Dirt (All Soaped Up)Book 4Dying to Build (Nailed It)
I needed a lighter book to read and this one seemed perfect.
I got this book since I just moved to Tucson and loved that it was set there. This is a quick read. There’s a bit of a murder mystery, but it’s mostly about Rosi and the people in the retirement community with her parents. She’s visiting from Illinois (where I moved from) so I really connected with that. She’s divorced with a grown kid. She’s only staying in Tucson for a couple weeks, but she finds herself liking some of the people a lot. There’s also dogs. That’s always a plus.
I gave this book 4 stars. I plan on reading more in the series.
Have you read this? Is it on your TBR?
