Book Review-Dead Men Don't Retire-Lolli Powell

Wednesday, May 22, 2024



Imagine having the ability to see and hear and speak to ghosts!! And then imagine they moved into your home where you lived with your two aunts--the sheriff was the worst. He was nosy to say the least. Then another woman was murdered--and she ended up in the house as well--Meanwhile there were two live men who were vying for her attention. To make matters worse she had sworn off men------

Trying to find the person who murdered the women wasn't easy--but Red was a relative--and she would not allow him to take the blame! Although this is a murder mystery--there were many times when I found myself laughing out loud at all the antics!!

About the Book: (from Amazon)

Shelby Wolfe’s life has gotten complicated—two eccentric aunts, too many attractive men, and too many roommates—both living and dead.

It’s winter in Goose Lick, and Shelby Wolfe is settling into her new home. Chief Jebediah Carpenter doesn’t seem to be in any hurry to move on, but when Lillian Harris, a local lawsuit-crazy woman, is stabbed to death with one of the café’s knives, Shelby is kind of glad Jeb is still around. Just hours before, the woman, Lil Harris, had stormed into the café and accused Shelby’s cousin, Red, of trying to poison her. During the ensuing argument, Red had a knife in his hand, the same knife that ended up being the murder weapon.

Since the murdered woman had sued nearly everyone in town and claimed to know things about people they would want kept secret, almost everyone in Goose Lick had a motive for wanting to see Lillian dead. But thanks to the argument and the knife, the police zero in on Red. Shelby knows her cousin wouldn’t have killed anyone, but she’s convinced someone is trying to set him up. She vows to prove his innocence by finding the real killer, and she has Chief Jeb Carpenter to help her.

After all, dead men don’t retire.
