Dead Before Dying - Shadow Valley Manor Mysteries, #1

Welcome to Shadow Valley Manor—where it won't be old age that kills you.

In the wake of a career-ending injury, veteran paranormal investigator Maureen Keslyn accepts an assignment at Shadow Valley Manor, an upscale retirement home with an unusual problem—its residents are dying at an alarming rate—and not from natural causes.

Armed with experience, attitude, and a stubborn refusal to die quietly, Maureen sets out to unravel a sinister mystery and put a stop to the carnage. There's no shortage of suspects. It could be the undertaker's Goth daughter, who has an unusual affinity for the dead. Or the facility cook whose knife skills extend far beyond the kitchen. Or the geriatric, wheelchair bound vampire occupying the suite across the hall. Even the local sheriff is harboring dangerous secrets.

When Maureen begins to suspect the involvement of a nefarious and secretive paranormal organization, she is forced to admit she needs help. Together with a ragtag team she doesn't fully trust, she'll either bring the killer to justice—or die trying.

A wickedly witty paranormal mystery filled with suspense, supernatural chills, and a heroine who takes no prisoners—dead or otherwise.
