Death in the Sunshine

by Steph Broadribb

4 stars

Death in the Sunshine is the first book of the "Retired Detectives Club" series.  When a murder happens in a gated retirement community and the police don't seem to take it seriously, 4 retired cops work together to solve it.

I chose this book from the "Amazon First Reads" options and the marketing worked exactly as it was supposed to.  I read this book for free and immediately looked for the next book in the series (and would've purchased and read it right away if it was already published).

It started off well and I was invested from the beginning.  Although there were times I was nervous because it was approaching the edge of "too much" (not just one random man but two, Moira keeping a secret for too long, etc.), it turned out really well with the pacing.

I enjoyed the character dynamics enough to continue with the series but the little tidbit at the end hooked me even more and I can't wait for the next one to come out later this year.
