Excerpt
“I could hear breathing on the line and then a man said real low, ‘Did you get my little present?’ He sounded so scary.”
“I said, ‘What present?’ And he didn’t say anything for a minute. Then he laughed and said, ‘This is Heather, isn’t it?’ I was too scared to answer but he knew who I was.”
Jan caught her breath and pulled Heather to her, hugging her tight . . .
“Did he say anything else?” Jan asked her daughter.
Heather looked at the floor. “He said, ‘Your mother kills old people.

My review: Death is Always a Resident by Lorraine Jefferey
31/2 STARS
Cozy mystery. Likeable characters, lots of drama. Clean read. The first novel by Lorraine Jefferey.
Jan Myers is a widow with a teenage daughter Heather. Jan has her dream job as a director of Forest Hills Skilled Nursing Facility for the last 8 months. The job also comes with a small cottage for her and Heather.
Heather is a 15 year old teen who was not happy with her new home and school.
Packard Nickle died from a heart attack at age 85. His son Paul had a private autopsy done on his father. He thinks his father has been poisoned. Packard was a unhappy man who made enemies with his business life and personal life.
The setting for most of the book is Forest Hills Skilled Nursing Facility in Columbus Ohio. A nursing home with 31 guests.
The ending worked but I wanted more of it. Maybe there will be future books.
I was given this ebook to read by Cedar Fort Publishing and in return agreed to give a honest review of Death is Always a Resident.
