Murder in Eden

When her roommate at Springwillow nursing home dies suddenly, no one except Fonnie Beachum seems to find the event suspicious. Perhaps it was Fonnie's training as a nurse; perhaps it was the dead woman's warning about an evil man among them. Either way, Fonnie--busy with her own pity party after a stroke landed her at Springwillow for rehabilitation--decides to keep her eyes open.

The second victim, an elderly diabetic, arouses no concern, but Fonnie suspects a murderer is walking the cheery halls of the nursing home, leaving cryptic but deadly threats posted on the community bulletin board. It takes the death of a young aide to bring the police on the scene, but by now, a wheelchair-bound Fonnie wonders if she'll be the next target of a cunning killer.
