THE NEW WHODUNIT COZY CRIME SERIES WITH DARK HUMOR
She Came for the Zen. She Stayed for the Murder.
The new whodunit cozy crime series with a biting sense of humor.
Retirement Can Be Murder.
Retired homicide detective Edie Miller is sixty-six years old, cantankerous, and would rather face a lineup of armed robbers than a week of vegan smoothies and enforced mindfulness. But when her well-meaning niece insists she finally use a six-year-old gift certificate, Edie is shipped off to the "Grand Cedar Zen," a hyper-exclusive ecolodge nestled in the Colorado mountains. She resigns herself to a week of cedar-scented hell, surrounded by "wellness warriors" on a path to total self-optimization.
Welcome to the Grand Cedar Zen. Please Watch Your Step.
The retreat, housed in a sprawling complex that reminds Edie of a "Bond villain's lair", promises transformation but delivers a tragedy. Jetson King—a narcissistic influencer known as the "Guru of the Golden Aura" with a talent for blackmail and making enemies—announces he will perform a reckless yoga stunt on the hotel's rooftop terrace.
The next morning, he takes a fatal plunge. The local sheriff is quick to rule it a "tragic accident".
But Edie, watching through her late husband's binoculars, saw something else: a suspicious oily film on the glass railing and Jetson’s desperate last words, "The oil! You damn bastard!". In a place of forced harmony, Edie knows a killer is hiding in plain sight.
Out of the Force.
With an incompetent sheriff eager to close the case and a panicked hotel director determined to cover up the scandal to protect his hotel's reputation, Edie is on her own. She must trade her retirement for a clandestine investigation, turning the sterile wellness resort into her personal headquarters in a high-stakes cat-and-mouse game.
