Lindzanne1_bookworm: Amazon Vine Voice, "What a delightful cozy mystery. I loved it right from the start. It was so entertaining and had me laughing and smiling so much."


A fresh start, a twist of fate, and a whole lot of unexpected drama.

Freshly divorced Rosi Laruee -- named Rosisophia Doroche after her mother's beloved Golden Girls -- is ready for a quiet, stress-free reset at the Tucson Valley Retirement Community. What she doesn't expect? Tripping (literally) into a murder mystery. But when local troublemaker Salem Mansfield turns up dead, Rosi's peaceful retreat turns into a full-blown investigation.

With nothing but her rusty reporter instincts, a mischievous Golden Retriever puppy (who's more trouble than she bargained for), and a lovable crew of nosy seniors who think they're the real detectives, Rosi is all in -- whether she likes it or not. Add in a suspiciously handsome landscaper, a less-than-helpful police officer, a raucous karaoke night, and more juicy secrets than you can keep up with at a bingo night, and Rosi finds herself knee-deep in a case that's equal parts puzzling, hilarious, and heartwarming.

From tangled love lives to pickleball drama, Dying to Go (Nothing to Gush About) is a rollicking, laugh-out-loud whodunit that's sure to warm your heart, keep you guessing, and maybe even have you looking for your own puppy sidekick.

For fans of Thursday Murder Club and Finlay Donovan!
