Tucson Valley Retirement Community Cozy Mystery Series, Book 1

By: Marcy Blesy

Narrated by: Torii Alaniz

Cozy Mystery....

Thirty-nine-year-old Rosi Laruee—named Rosisophia Doroche after her mother’s beloved Golden Girls—decides that the end of her twenty-year marriage and her dad’s impending knee replacement surgery are all the excuses she needs to visit Tucson Valley Retirement Community. But the drama follows Rosi when she finds the body of local tart and business owner, Salem Mansfield. The information she discovers using her newspaper reporter sleuthing skills coupled with the clues she picks up from lackluster Police Officer Dan Daniel lead to a surprise discovery when the murderer is revealed. Along the way, she meets a cast of characters in her parents' social circle who leave her questioning her parents' choices in friends while simultaneously befriending many of the residents, including a handsome landscaper and a brand-new Golden Retriever puppy she names Barley. Rosi’s visit to Tucson Valley proves more than she’d bargained for, but maybe, she realizes, it’s just the kind of change she needs.

***Laugh out loud with Rosi, and be prepared to get the happy feels along the way!***

great listen!

The perfect cozy mystery! All the right elements and great storyline. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Fun!

Had a fun time listening to this one. Really liked the main character. The mystery was solved a little differently in this one and I liked that.

Rosi finds drama & new possibilities in this debut

Rosi Laruee's marriage is over so she's at loose ends. She decides she needs a break & goes to Arizona to visit her parents at the Tucson Valley Retirement Community. But Rosi soon finds herself involved in plenty of drama amongst her parents' social circle, including finding the body of unpopular used bookstore owner Salem Mansfield. Using her newspaper reporter skills, Rosi decides to help the incompetent police to find the killer. This was a fun debut mystery with an eclectic cast of characters, including a handsome landscaper and a Golden Retriever puppy named Barley.

Loved it!

I really enjoyed the authors writing style. It was an easy and fun listen!

Fun romance

I enjoyed the story, the characters, the romance and the small town setting. The narration was also done well.
