Who said retirement was boring? Join four unlikely friends as they solve perplexing murders in the seemingly idyllic retirement community of Sage Gardens and beyond.
Includes books 5-8 in the Sage Gardens Cozy Mystery Series.
Book 5: Rocks Can Be Deadly
Samantha is excited when Jo invites her on a long train trip to a flower show. Much to Jo’s surprise Eddy and Walt land up tagging along. The four friends are looking forward to spending time together. The train is crowded, the rooms are tiny and Peter, an old friend of Eddy and Samantha’s, is on the train and acting very suspiciously. However, the four friends still enjoy their time together.
But then their trip comes to a grinding halt when one of the passengers dies. The local police believe it is a suicide, but Eddy is adamant that it isn’t. When the police decide to let the train continue to its destination, Eddy, Walt, Samantha and Jo decide to investigate what they believe is a murder.
What is Peter up to? Will the ‘Sage Gardens Sleuths’ find the murderer or will they be stopped in their tracks?
Book 6: Jewelry Can Be Deadly
Samantha and Jo are shocked when they come across the dead body of Valda, a newlywed and new resident at Sage Gardens. They had just delivered a basket of Samantha’s welcome muffins to her and her husband earlier in the day when Jo noticed that the woman was wearing a very familiar piece of jewelry. However, Jo cannot remember why it is familiar to her.
Not only is Valda dead, but the jewelry is missing. Jo cannot shake the feeling that the jewelry had something to do with the murder so she does a little digging. The digging lands her amongst some serious criminals, including some familiar faces.
Will the ‘Sage Gardens Sleuths’ manage to navigate their way through the maze of potential suspects and find the murderer? Or will the murderer get away because Jo’s judgement is clouded by someone that holds a special place in her heart?
Book 7: Numbers Can be Deadly
When Walt gets a call that his old boss has been murdered and he is the prime suspect he goes into panic mode. He needs to clear his name before his worst nightmare comes true and he lands up behind bars.
Walt, along with Eddy, Samantha and Jo, go on a search to uncover the truth and work out why Walt was implicated in the murder. But is Walt hiding something that will prevent the truth from being revealed?
Will the ‘Sage Gardens Sleuths’ be able to protect Walt from danger and clear his name before he lands up in prison?
Book 8: Memories Can Be Deadly
When a Sage Gardens resident is found murdered in the resident’s community lounge the four retirees, Samantha, Eddy, Walt and Jo, want to find out what happened.
But when their investigations lead them towards the past they find out that they have two mysteries to solve, not one. They need to untangle a web of lies and deceit to uncover the truth. But their investigations direct them straight towards trouble.
Will they be able to work as a team and get to the truth? Or will their different backgrounds divide them and land them in danger? Will the ‘Sage Gardens Sleuths' be able to solve both the old and new mystery before they become victims themselves?
If you like heartwarming cozy mysteries with enduring friendships, quirky characters and twisty mysteries that will keep you glued to the page, you will love the Sage Gardens Cozy Mystery Series by USA Today and Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author Cindy Bell.

Fun little reads
I enjoyed this series although some grammar and some words were misused. All in all though, I liked the characters and the settings of the stories. It was nice to discover how their friendships grew and how they always supported each other. I will read more books written by Ms. Bell.

Great box set
I really enjoyed reading this box set. I liked how Sam, Eddy, Walt and Joy solved the mysteries. I would recommend this box set, to anyone who enjoys reading cozy mysteries and likes the fact that the main characters are over 55 years old.
