Poppy Harmon Investigates

Lee Hollis begins a delightful new series in which Poppy Harmon and her friends find that life after retirement can be much busier-and deadlier-than any of them ever anticipated …

When Poppy goes from complacent retiree to penniless Palm Springs widow in a matter of weeks, she decides to use her obsession with true crime shows to start a career as a private eye. But after opening the Desert Flowers Detective Agency with help from her two best friends, Poppy realizes that age brings wisdom, not business-until she convinces her daughter’s handsome boyfriend, Matt, to pose as the face of the agency …

It’s not long before Matt snags a client desperate to retrieve priceless jewelry burglarized from an aging actress at the Palm Leaf Retirement Village. Or before Poppy stumbles upon the bloodied body of the victim’s arch rival… . In a flash, Poppy’s innocent detective gig is upstaged by a dangerous murder investigation, slimy suspects, and unspeakable scandal. As she and her team search to uncover the truth, she must also confront secrets about her late husband’s past-even if it means turning her world upside down all over again.
