Carol has been released from prison after several decades. She has been deposited in a retirement community that should be quiet, but a murder occurs soon after she arrives. As a confessed serial killer, she comes under suspicion pretty quickly.
80-year-old Geoffrey, a former cop certainly points her out pretty quickly. He is joined in his investigation by Catherine, a retired pathologist, and Margaret who was a barrister, even home secretary for awhile. They don't think the police are moving fast enough so they'll take care of it themselves.
Carol wants to prove her innocence even when it puts her at odds with the people in her home, but will they have to end up working together?
A lovely story that is more than fairly clued. It took me awhile to get into the story but was worth the read.
