BOOK BLURB
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.

MY REVIEW
Carol, a serial killer, has been released from prison and moved into a retirement home. When a fellow resident is killed, Carol is the prime suspect. This time though, Carol claims she’s innocent, and sets out to find the real killer.
I’m Not the Only Murderer in My Retirement Home is delightful mystery. The retirement home makes for a unique setting. The characters are quirky. Dark humor and an intriguing mystery. Recommended read for fans of cozy mysteries with older protagonists.
I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
