Unfortunately, his former position (as one of the deaths, not the death) was seeping into his current retirement and hijacking his restful plans. Bad enough that he’s stalked by ghosts, but his former bosses have also saddled him with the care and feeding of a possessed bobcat. And then he meets his beautiful neighbor Sylvie, and his world truly is turned upside down. Click to see how Geoff becomes involved in his first murder investigation and all of the antics that ensue. Death Retired is a humorous cozy mystery with no explicit sexual content or profanity, though the book does contain adult situations and some violence.
