~Carla Loves To Read
Murder at Harbor Village is a light cozy mystery with friendly characters and a striking town . . . I liked the author’s relaxed writing style which makes the book easy to read.
~The Avid Reader
There is a whole host of interesting and colorful support characters (including Nita’s husband), and I loved the author’s sense of humor in naming them…Patti (Wagon), Police Chief Boozer.
~Rosepoint Publishing
I liked the characters. Cleo is a strong character and she meets a few quirky residents of Harbor Village that can be fun.
~Socrates’ Book Reviews…
I thought this was an interesting read. I enjoy reading about those of the “senior population” as their antics are usually quite funny.

Young retiree Cleo Mack is trading in academia for a second act in Harbor Village, a community for active seniors in coastal Alabama. But someone in this picture-perfect coastal town is burning the candle at both ends . . .
It’s love at first sight when Cleo arrives in Fairhope, Alabama, after taking early retirement from her longtime position as professor of social work. Touted as “the nicest town in the world,” Fairhope is home to an eclectic community of retirees. Harbor Village boasts classes in painting, pottery, and photography, not to mention being a buyer’s market for husbands. It seems an ideal place to make new friends and rediscover life. Until a dead body is found in the pool.
When the victim turns out to be the unpopular director of senior living, Cleo is named acting director. Now she must rely on her well-honed people skills to uncover a killer in a place where short-term memory isn’t what it used to be, and age is just a number. And if Cleo keeps snooping around, her number may soon be up . . .
