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.

Reviews
[A] winning mixture of humor and seriousness, baking and bingo
Witty, fast-paced, and plenty surprising, Craig's cracked cozy goes down smooth. It's a delightfully twisted romp.
Equal parts cozy mystery and redemption tale, this is a brisk, mordantly funny romp about second chances and the inconvenient persistence of reputation
Making murder funny is a delicate business, but actor and comedian Craig manages it with aplomb in a wry, witty style
Carol, a female serial killer, and her unlikely cast of new friends are a joy to get to know in this unique and twisty murder mystery.
Delightful, funny and hard to put down.
A fine mystery whose mordant humor makes it outstanding.
Craig clearly relies on his background as actor, comedian, and TV writer to achieve pitch-perfect timing in making murder most fun
What a lovely romp - as it were - Fergus is so funny and brilliant.
