The Timberdale Retirement Center in Norman, Oklahoma, wasn't a place where old people went to die. It was a community of vital senior citizens who played, partied, and well, did whatever seemed of interest.

Gave the center a bad name, upset the other residents, and didn't help at all in the planning of the next major social event of the season. That Maude Thuringer, a woman who loved a mystery and saw one in everything that happened, decided that Cora's death was by foul means, made things worse.

And if Aaron Lassiter, the deputy sheriff, hadn't been quite so good-looking and just plain nice, and especially if Francie hadn't noticed that fact, too. And things would certainly have been easier if Laura hadn't been receiving those strange phone calls. Or been hit onthe head. Or if the next body hadn't been found...
