Midlife, murder, and a Golden Retriever—Rosi Laruee’s visit to Tucson Valley Retirement Community turns into a witty, heartwarming whodunit filled with quirky characters, surprising twists, and a fresh start she never saw coming! Cozy Mystery Praise for Book 1, Dying to Go (Nothing to Gush About) in the Tucson Valley Retirement Community Cozy Mystery Series: Amazon Customer: “A little Golden Girls Cute Vibes” stlfanswer: “THIS is the book you need to read between all of your heavy thrillers, romance novels, heartbreak stories, etc.! It was an easy, quick read & just what I needed! I loved the author’s humor & development of characters." Susan Reads Cozies: Amazon Vine Voice, "The storyline was a good pace and it kept me guessing. I was laughing and smiling so much." Lindzanne1_bookworm: Amazon Vine Voice, " What a delightful cozy mystery. I loved it right from the start. It was so entertaining and had me laughing and smiling so much." A fresh start, a twist of fate, and a whole lot of unexpected drama. Freshly divorced Rosi Laruee—named Rosisophia Doroche after her mother’s beloved Golden Girls —is ready for a quiet, stress-free reset at the Tucson Valley Retirement Community. What she doesn’t expect? Tripping (literally) into a murder mystery. But when local troublemaker Salem Mansfield turns up dead, Rosi’s peaceful retreat turns into a full-blown investigation. With nothing but her rusty reporter instincts, a mischievous Golden Retriever puppy (who’s more trouble than she bargained for), and a lovable crew of nosy seniors who think they’re the real detectives, Rosi is all in—whether she likes it or not. Add in a suspiciously handsome landscaper, a less-than-helpful police officer, a raucous karaoke night, and more juicy secrets than you can keep up with at a bingo night, and Rosi finds herself knee-deep in a case that’s equal parts puzzling, hilarious, and heartwarming. From tangled love lives to pickleball drama, Dying to Go (Nothing to Gush About) is a rollicking, laugh-out-loud whodunit that’s sure to warm your heart, keep you guessing, and maybe even have you looking for your own puppy sidekick. If you love: Quirky characters - Found family - Golden Girls meets Thursday Murder Club vibes - Clean, funny mysteries with midlife heroines - And a dog who steals the show...

I was entertained by great characters who made me giggle often and a puzzling mystery. I am interested to see what Ms. Blesy has planned for her characters next because the final lines left me with a smile on my face and a happy heart. ~Escape With Dollycas Into A Good Book Dying to Go is a fun, cozy mystery with an unlikely backdrop, several interesting characters, and a mystery to solve. I was looking forward to the clues being gathered and to what would happen next. ~Novels Alive Marcy Blesy kicked off her new cozy mystery series with a story that has all the best-loved formula tropes; it has a newly divorced protagonist, a loving family with annoying friends, and of course a body. Although this book was only published a few months ago, the author has been busy and there are already 5 books available, with another one coming out next month. I will definitely be adding this series to my reading list. ~The Storybook Lady
