What’s the book about?
When Carol, a female serial killer, is paroled and moves into an upscale retirement home, her secret is out.
But when she’s blamed for a series of murders, and a group of residents forms an impromptu murder club to gather evidence against her, Carol has to start an investigation of her own.
After all, who is better to catch a serial killer than another serial killer?
My Thoughts About I’m Not the Only Murderer in My Retirement Home
I love a good murder club book and I’m a fan of British humor. Though the humor in this did get a little off-color at times (involving discussions of manscaping) I definitely laughed out loud as I was reading.
The mystery was solid, though Carol (and her crimes) remained a bit of an enigma. The ending was one I did NOT see coming!
