The Sunset Manor Mystery Series: Books 1-6
(2025)(A book in the Sunset Manor Mystery series)
An omnibus of novels by Cathlyn Sweets
Six hilarious mysteries. One unforgettable retirement community. Zero chance of peaceful golden years.
Meet Violet Hartwell, a razor-sharp former high school principal who thought retirement meant peace and quiet. She was wrong. Dead wrong. When she moves into Sunset Manor for a temporary stay, she discovers that senior living communities are hotbeds of murder, mayhem, and surprisingly creative killing methods.
Armed with her vintage leather "investigation kit" and a team of unlikely geriatric detectives, Violet tackles crimes that would baffle detectives half her age. There's Frank, whose weaponized mobility scooter "The Interceptor" doubles as a getaway vehicle. Agnes, the theatrical gossip queen whose newsletter "The Manor Murmur" breaks more cases than the police. And glamorous ex-Vegas showgirl Dolores, whose questionable past provides surprisingly useful criminal insights.
From bingo night murders to shuffleboard scandals, deadly dance lessons to garden club grave diggers, no mystery is too bizarre for these retirement rebels. Whether it's a bedazzled bingo dabber turned murder weapon, a missing shuffleboard champion who might have joined the circus, or a disco ball death that rocks the activities room, the Sunset Manor crew proves that age is just a number when it comes to solving crimes.
Each laugh-out-loud mystery combines clever plotting with heartwarming characters who embrace growing old disgracefully. Watch Violet infiltrate underground bingo rings, Frank declare war on Jell-O, and Agnes start conspiracy theories about meatloaf. These aren't your typical retirement stories – they're adventures that celebrate the wisdom, mischief, and unstoppable spirit of seniors who refuse to go gentle into that good night.
Six complete novellas. Endless entertainment. Because at Sunset Manor, growing old never gets old.
Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries, senior sleuths, and anyone who loves witty dialogue with their whodunits.
