Overview
RETIREMENT WILL HAVE TO WAIT. When former serial killer Carol takes her place in a luxury retirement home, she begins to find her feet with a small new group of friends. If she can only keep her past hidden, maybe she has a chance at happiness. That's when she discovers that, absurdly, every other one of Sheldon Oaks' residents was involved in the law somehow. It's not long before her true identity is leaked, and when a former police commissioner resident is murdered, naturally all eyes turn to her... Now she must solve the case to prove her innocence - just as her new friends start their own investigations into whether there is more than one killer at Sheldon Oaks. Praise for Fergus Craig: 'What's better than a good crime novel? I'll tell you - a spoof crime novel, by the absurdly funny and clever Fergus Craig' MIRANDA HART 'I can't wait for you to get involved in [this] VERY silly thriller. We all need more laughs like this' AISLING BEA 'Laugh out loud funny.' MARK BILLINGHAM 'Tea-spittingly hilarious.' CHRIS BROOKMYRE 'Funny and gripping' DARA O BRIAIN
