A Senior Citizen's Guide to Life on the Run

By Gwen Florio
A Senior Citizen's Guide to Life on the Run by Gwen Florio digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Senior citizen Alice Sanders can finally settle into her well-deserved retirement home in New Jersey . . . until her past catches up with her in this enthralling and quirky cozy mystery.

When retired septuagenarian Alice settles into her home within the planned community of Timeless Pastures in New Jersey, she expected a quiet life full of book clubs, mellow gatherings and affable friends. What she didn’t expect was her retirement paradise to be disturbed by pigeons!

Alice confronts her next-door neighbour, Babs, for feeding a flock of them each day, thus causing her backyard to look like a Jackson Pollock painting, but not knowing how devious Babs can be, and unconsciously unleashing events that could be dangerous or even worse – deadly!

When Babs is found dead days after their dispute, everyone is quick to believe it was Alice who killed her. Panicked, Alice decides to leave, but not without her loyal senior friends and neighbours – Mia, Sasha and George – who will not only be on the run and dodge the police with her, but also try to protect her from her mysterious past . . .

Fans of RICHARD OSMAN, DEANNA RAYBOURN, LAURIEN BERENSON and JESSE Q. SUTANTO will enjoy this quirky cozy. Clever twists, an intriguing plot and loveable characters make for “a satisfying cozy” (Booklist on Best Be Prepared).
