Sunshine Estates

The novel takes place in an upscale active retirement development in Northern California. "Sunshine Estates: Rx for Rosedale" spins a humorous tale of inquisitive residents who are confronted with more than just idle gossip. Former Oregonians Laurel and John Cie envision a quiet and idyllic life in their new neighborhood, but they haven't even unpacked their expensive pinot noir collection when a shocking sudden death occurs. Right across the street. Laurel starts a pet-sitting business to defray the cost of her health insurance, but soon learns more about her neighbors than she bargained for. She discovers illegal drug use, a scandalous stock option deal, and the mysterious disappearance of beloved pets. In addition to these clandestine activities, the community is embroiled in finding a location for an off-leash dog park, plus the ongoing feud between golfers and tennis players.
