The Pickleball Murder
(2026)(The second book in the Golden Years Detective Club Mystery series)
A novel by Lucy Lemon
Why do the activities at Sunset Village always seem to end with a winner…and a corpse?
Janet Marsh expected Palm Springs retirement to mean sunshine, quiet mornings, and maybe the occasional competitive game night—not murder. But when beloved handyman Pasquale Rossi is found dead on the locked pickleball courts, Janet quickly realizes the death was no accident.
As Janet begins asking questions, strange clues emerge: a missing player who vanished overnight, a secret identity, and a deadly debt buried in the village’s past. With the help of sharp-eyed neighbors—and one very judgmental cat—Janet discovers that the friendly retirement community is hiding decades of secrets.
Now someone is desperate to keep those secrets buried… and they’ve already tried to silence Janet once.
In Sunset Village, the games are friendly—but the stakes are deadly.
The Pickleball Murder is perfect for fans of humorous, twisty cozy mysteries with clever amateur sleuths and plenty of small-town secrets.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
