Synopsis

This is a mystery novel about shocking murders that take place during one week at Paradise Palms, a retirement community in Hawaii. The book is part mystery, part irreverent social commentary, and fascinating Hawaiiana. The narrator is Grace Hill, an 84-year-old resident of the Palms. She and her Clue Crew–three sharp and funny ladies–with the help of two Hawaiian policemen solve the mysterious deaths of five elderly residents. The 'week in hell' culminates when Grace discovers the naked body of a man at the bottom of the swimming pool. Among the murder suspects are the Palms' head chef, his wife, the sous chef, a saleswoman, a swimming pool cleaner, and even Grace. As the author raises the lid on retirement home living, beware, there may be an unpleasant odor.
