"Retirement Can Be Murder"
A Baby Boomer Mystery (#1)
Every wife has a story. "Retirement Can Be Murder" is the story of Carol Andrews and her Beloved Husband, Jim, members of the fastest growing demographic in history, the Baby Boomer generation. Carol dreads her husband Jim's upcoming retirement more than a root canal without Novocain. She can't imagine anything worse than having an at-home husband with time on his hands and nothing to fill it--except interfering in the day-to-day activities of their household and driving her crazy. Until her plans to stall Jim's retirement result in her husband being suspected of murdering his retirement coach.
"Moving Can Be Murder"
A Baby Boomer Mystery (#2)
Empty nester Carol Andrews would prefer leaving her beautiful antique home in Fairport, Connecticut, "feet first" to selling it and moving on. But her Beloved Husband Jim convinces her that a nearby active adult community is the best fit for them at this time of life. Their house sells, and Carol returns alone the night before the closing for a "pity party" farewell tour. And discovers the dead body of the buyer in her living room. Wow. Talk about seller's remorse!
Review Quotes
"Santangelo has come up with an intriguing premise, drawing on the much-publicized fact that the baby boomer generation will soon be facing retirement, and she develops it cleverly....We'll look forward to more Boomer mysteries in the years to come....Pure fun--and don't be surprised if retired sleuths become the next big trend."
--Booklist.com
"Retirement Can Be Murder is a fun chick lit investigative tale starring Carol Andrews super sleuth supported by an eccentric bunch of BBs (baby boomers), the cop and the daughter. Carol tells the tale in an amusing frantic way that adds to the enjoyment of a fine lighthearted whodunit that affirms that 'every wife has a story.'"
--Harriet Klausner, National Book Critic
"Moving Can Be Murder is jam-packed with Carol's cast of best buds and signature Santangelo fun! The author has penned a magnificent cozy that will leave you panting from the excitement, laughing at the characters, and--no surprise here--begging for more."
--Terri Ann Armstrong, Author of How to Plant a Body
