Book description
Halfway to happily ever after...probably. Hannah Garvey, the resident
manager of Valhalla Springs, an exclusive retirement community, thought
she had this love thing all sewn up. She's engaged to David Hendrickson,
the hunky Kinderhook County sheriff, and thinks the future looks pretty
rosy--until one of Sanity, Missouri's most esteemed citizens becomes the
county's latest homicide victim. Meanwhile, Delbert Bisbee and his gang
of senior gumshoes are driving Hannah nuts, doling out advice, delving
into an old missing-persons case and digging dirt where they don't
belong. Literally. And no matter what they unearth, there's just no
halfway about it...life has a funny way of happening when you're making
other plans. A crowd-pleasing, lightweight whodunit filled with
unabashedly wacky characters...a comic romance mystery that gives equal
weight to all three elements and caps it with an ending that doesn't
disappoint.  --Publishers Weekly on Once a Thief Halfway to
