Jennie Connor's friend, Lilly, is in big trouble. Two patrons are poisoned while dining at her restaurant and the police are too busy with crowd control to notice a shadowy figure climb down the arbor and slip away. Jennie watches and wonders if Lilly's daughter, Jasmine, is up to her usual teenage mischief or if something more sinister is going on. Jennie tries to sort out the case, aided and abetted by her tea ladies. These six elderly women, made of more spice than sugar, are residents of Riverview Manor, where Jennie works as Activities Director. While the press focuses on one of the victims, Phillip Jeffries, a junior high school principal who has made a lot of enemies during his career, Jennie learns that the other victim, teacher Leonard Atkinson, has his own dirty little secret.

Sandra Carey Cody is the author of the Jennie Connors mystery series, published by Avalon Books. The most recent entry in the series is Left at Oz, a prequel to Put Out the Light, Consider the Lilly and By Whose Hand, all of which are currently available in book stores and libraries. The Jennie Connors books take place in a retirement community where the residents are mobile, alert, and just bored enough to welcome a little excitement in their lives. If this involves helping Activities Director Jennie solve the occasional murder ... well, that's a lot more fun than bingo. In addition, the books explore the challenges facing a young mother as she learns to balance independence with family and career responsibilities.
A Perfect Wedding is a trio of short stories about the bump and jostle of day-to-day life in a family. It is available for your Kindle.
