Starting a new life in Florida means year-round sunshine, beautiful beaches, and balmy breezes. For most people, anyway. But not for thirtysomething Piper and her grandmother, former members of a motorcycle gang in Oregon.
For them, it means entering the witness protection program and moving to Bitter End in the Sunshine State. Yes, to Bitter End. It doesn’t get much more ironic than this.
But hey, it’s better than rotting in jail for getting busted with tax evasion and money laundering, and infinitely better than getting killed by said gang for testifying against them. Needless to say, they both have difficulties adjusting to life in Florida. Moving into a retirement community and dealing with all those quirky characters?
Wearing flip-flops instead of biker boots? Where do you even hide your gun if you’re wearing those godawful muumuu dresses? Not to mention, they’re supposed to keep everything on the right side of the law now?
Ugh! Oh, and there’s that dead body in their neighbor’s front yard. Instead of laying low, Piper and her Gran can't help but get sucked into the murder mystery.
After all, seeking out excitement and adrenaline is in their DNA. When they realize they’re in too deep and their cover is almost blown, they have no other choice but to find the killer before it’s too late. Unique characters, laugh-out-loud moments, and of course, a hot PI guy await for you in this fast and funny romp!

This story is fun and hilarious. My only critique is that (as a fellow writer) I kept stumbling over the overuse of the weed word "just". However, that will not stop me from furure purchases. Love her characters!
I loved the mix of mystery and comedy. There were moments when I truly laughed out loud. A very enjoyable mystery!
I like the storyline and characters but I struggle with some of the relative words and phrasing. Seriously, how many times did some “blush” in the book. The word is used at least 20+ times. I could be wrong but it feels like it might be the first book the author has written. Over time I think the characters and the author will develop and improve.
Light and entertaining. Enjoyed the senior moments since I am a baby boomer myself! Will continue reading the complete series.
I kept reading this book because once I start one I instinctively feel the need to finish it. It wasn’t terrible, but having read it I wouldn’t read it again. Parts were interesting, storyline was okay. Ending was the most eventful part of the book. Well put together & easy and quick to read.
As someone who moved to Florida in the '80s when I was in my early 30's, I laughed so many times at the insights of this author into the senior culture. During those early years, I always said there were so many mean old people here. I moved away for many years, but came back to FL a few years ago, and now I'm one of those mean old people. Things haven't changed much! And this book is full of little things that made me laugh out loud! This is now one of my favorite books because it is so real.
A fun read. Interesting insights on the happenings in a senior citizen village. some unusual twists and turns. Good characters.
Good story. Clean. Quirky characters. Entertaining (which is the whole point).
