Murder in Death’s Waiting Room: A Flora Melkiot Mystery

A wealthy lady of a certain age, Flora Melkiot is not happy. After only a little traffic accident in which she broke her wrist, her painfully conventional daughter has transported her from her luxury Dallas home to a nursing home in San Antonio and, disliking her mother’s eccentric lifestyle, obtained a court order to make sure she stays there. Wanting nothing more than to return home, Flora is scheming to get the order overturned when an extremely unpleasant patient is brutally murdered, turning Flora’s mind from thoughts of escape to the desire to catch the killer. Another patient is killed and yet another brutally assaulted before Flora begins to unravel the reasons behind the murders. The only question is will she find the necessary proof before she herself becomes a victim?
