Watch Out Jessica Fletcher, Here Come the Senior Sleuths
By
M K Scott
The staff at Greener Pastures Convalescent Center assumes most of their residents are asleep by nine and as wild as they get is cheating at bingo. They have no idea that six of their residents are up to. They are not only sneaking out of the center, but sometimes they are dodging bullets and bad guys.
It all started with Marcy, a detective, who is recovering at the facility after a horrific accident that occurred while chasing a criminal. Determined to prove that she’s still competent to carry a badge and a gun, she solicits her former partner’s help to prove her worth. Lance, her former partner, brings her cold cases for her to solve. Her goal is not to be sidelined on disability, but return back to work after she’s physically able.
Even though Marcy is more than willing to work alone, she decides to invite a few other seniors to help her. After all, some the cases are decades old, and seasoned citizens would remember what was going on at that time. What she didn’t count on is the sharp seniors don’t take orders well, which results in both humorous and dangerous consequences.
Marcy Collins proved her investigative skills in the field time and time again, but after an accident leaves her disabled, she’s forced into early retirement in a senior convalescent center. Although her mind and body may not be what they used to be, her steadfast determination to fight crime and advocate for victims continues.
When her well-meaning former partner is assigned with helping to keep her mind agile, he unknowingly inspires her to search for clues in a long-forgotten cold case. Before he knows what’s happening, Marcy assembles a team of sharp-eyed, witty, and often cantankerous senior sleuths to bring a criminal to justice and help her regain some of what she thought she’d lost for good.
Follow the former detective and her team of unconventional sleuths as they dig through the clues and wind their way down a treacherous path of deception, tomfoolery, and murder!
The Way over the Hill Gang is back at it again! This time their mission is to find justice for a slain single mother, but this cold case proves to be more complicated than they initially believe.
With little to go on, no resources, and a limited amount of time to search for answers, can they crack this long-forgotten case and bring the murderer to justice?
The senior sleuths are hot on the trail of a veteran’s murderer and a missing dog in a cold case that’s raising eyebrows and causing a stir in their tightknit community.
The clock is ticking. Only a few short days before the victim’s home is razed and all the potential evidence is wiped clean.
With new complications at every turn, the Senior Sleuths feel the heat as the impossible deadline approaches.
Can they close this case before the truth is buried for good?
A missing woman. A surprising suspect. A curious conundrum.
The senior sleuths have a knack for sniffing out trouble, but when a missing woman cold case falls in their laps, all hands must be on deck to solve it. Unfortunately, this case hits a little too close to home, and quickly becomes an active case with dire consequences if they’re not careful.
To complicate matters, Heloise is planning an authentic barn dance for the residents of Greener Pastures Convalescent Center. She needs the senior sleuths’ help, and that means they must forgo their investigation.
The group will have to employ their best tactics to stay under the radar to root out the true culprit and avoid a barn dance disaster.
