Funerals Can Be Murder: Every Wife Has a Story - Paperback

by Susan Santangelo (Author)

"Funerals Can Be Murder, Susan Santangelo's latest Baby Boomer Mystery, will keep you chuckling, as well as wondering whodunit, until the very end."
-Lois Winston, Award-winning author of the critically acclaimed Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mystery series

Baby Boomer Carol Andrews is shocked to hear that her hunky landscaper, Will Finnegan, has died, and feels obligated to pay her respects to his family. But this Finnegan's wake is shut down before it even starts, when Carol discovers someone has added a pair of scissors to the guest of honor's chest. Once again, her husband Jim and the Fairport police forbid Carol to get involved. But the always curious Carol can't help herself when one of the most important people in her life jumps to the top of the suspect list.

"Can it be possible that Carol Andrews somehow attracts murders-or at least their discovery and subsequent solution-into her life? As this fun romp opens, Carol is simply attending the untimely funeral of her very hunky handyman. Funerals Can Be Murder is the fifth installment in Santangelo's Carol and Jim Andrews Baby Boomer Mystery series, and it doesn't disappoint. Another 'must-read'!"
-Anne L. Holmes ("Boomer in Chief"), National Association of Baby Boomer Women
