This novel was originally named Murder in Sarasota. Newspaper article writer and amateur detective, Jack Russo is a one-dimensional character that is missing the intellectual and/or physical traits normally found in the lead character. The pace moves along and it was easy to figure out who did what early on. The book did not live up to its potential. ( )

Jake Russo has transferred from being a reporter in New York City to a retirement community in Florida. He no longer reports city problems instead, he is stuck writing fluff pieces. He questions his reporting ability and loses his confidence.

When an older resident dies on the beach, Jake must figure out how she died and why. He'll find surprising secrets in Florida's retirement communities.

This easy-to-read mystery comes with flirtation, intrigue, and senior citizens from the dark side. ( )

This cozy mystery introduces some likeable characters. The newly slimmed down journalist Jake Russo and his trusty photographer sidekick make an amusing pair.

The story line was predictable and although there were a few laugh out loud moments, the writing was generally just okay. ( )

This was a nice murder mystery. It started unlike other books i had read.. slow drama. It gradually began to seem more like romantic novel rather than a murder mystery. The book picked up the pace slowly but steadily and maintained it to the end. You would like the way the protagonist Jake Russo tries against all odds to bring justice to a stranger. A little romance and comedy add colour to the book. No one is what they seem , who is to be trusted is a tough call for the unlikely hero. A good read. But patience is called for here. ( )

While I found the book enjoyable and an easy/quick read, I must say that I personally am not hooked. The story takes place around a retirement village and revolves around the murder of one of the residents. The ending is fairly easy to predict and the story a bit tame for my taste (which prefers fast paced action mysteries). I do believe this book has an audience who will really enjoy it. ( )

Member Giveaway title of this ebook was "Murder In Sarasota," but it's now being sold as "Retirement Can Be Murder." Okay to combine these two.
