A Carol Quinn, Retired Serial Killer Mystery Series

Fresh off being a suspect for a murder she didn’t commit (this time), retired serial killer Carol Quinn investigates an all-new murder (she also had nothing to do with!) in the likeliest of places…a wedding.

Things are unexpectedly lively for the residents of Sheldon Oaks retirement home. Carol’s had a scrape with the law and retired barrister Margaret is working hard to clear her (not so good) name, while their two close friends and fellow Sheldon Oaks denizens are gearing up for their own battle of wits—their wedding day. Luckily, Margaret gets Carol out of the jam just in time for her to attend the joyful event.

Things don’t stay joyful for long, however, as the bride-to-be’s disgruntled ex-husband, Nigel, turns up, warning her not to marry hew new beloved. Then, even more unfortunately, Nigel is found murdered on the morning of the wedding with the spike used to hold the wedding cake together. Nigel was never the most likeable chap and there are more suspects than hors d’oeuvres at the cocktail hour. Can Carol and her friends solve the murder so they can all live happily ever after? Or will death do them part?

After a decades-long stint in prison, former serial killer Carol is looking to kick back and relax in her new retirement home…until a fellow resident drops dead and Carol has to prove she actually didn’t do it this time….

Carol is delighted to be leaving her tiny prison cell behind to take her place in a luxury retirement home. She’s hoping her past as a serial killer won’t come to light so she can make a few friends and find some murder-free hobbies. But it’s not long before a fellow resident—who happens to be a former police commissioner—drops dead, and Carol’s  true identity is leaked—making catching up over daily activities of bingo and baking rather awkward. 

Just her luck, Carol soon realizes that the victim wasn’t the only former law enforcement officer at Sheldon Oaks—it’s filled to the brim with former cops, barristers, and government representatives, her newfound friends included. And everyone thinks Carol’s guilt is a no-brainer, but she is ready to prove them dead wrong…without killing anyone, for once.
