At Greener Pastures Retirement Home, leisure time can prove perilous.

When psychic (and hubcap retailer) Wanda Alewine pays a late-night visit to Myrtle Clover, she urges the octogenarian sleuth to head straight to Greener Pastures Retirement Home. But Wanda doesn't want Myrtle to consider the Home's dubious amenities-she wants Myrtle to prevent a murder seen in a vision.

Reluctant Myrtle investigates with sidekick Miles, who seems a lot more interested in Greener Pastures than she is. As the duo digs, they uncover more than just Sudoku and Scrabble-they discover a sinister undercurrent... with murder as its outcome.

Silence is golden ...unless you're permanently hushed up. When Lillian Johnson was found dead one hot summer day, no one in the town of Bradley, North Carolina was all that surprised.

The townspeople were only slightly more surprised to discover that Lillian had been murdered. That's because Lillian, like most folks, had a dark side. And a fair number of people had experienced this dark side. Myrtle Clover, octogenarian sleuth and intrepid reporter, investigates Lillian's death to discover precisely who hushed her up. . . before someone else is permanently silenced.
