FLORIDA RETIREMENT IS MURDER

Editorial Book Review Online


Title: "Florida Retirement Is Murder"
Author: Kris Courtney

"Florida Retirement Is Murder" is a hilarious romp through the Sunshine State that combines elements of comedy, mystery, and retirement living. Written by Kris Courtney, this comedic fiction novel offers a fresh take on the retirement community lifestyle while weaving in an engaging and entertaining mystery plot.

The story revolves around our endearing protagonist, Stewart, a recent retiree who relocates to a seemingly idyllic retirement community in Florida. At first glance, the palm trees and golf courses make it appear to be a paradise for retirees. However, as Stewart soon discovers, behind the scenes, the lives of the residents are filled with secrets, drama, and, yes, murder.

What sets "Florida Retirement Is Murder" apart is its witty and sharp sense of humor. Courtney excels at creating zany characters and absurd situations that will leave readers in stitches. The quirky cast of retirees, each with their unique quirks and foibles, is a delight to follow as they navigate the complexities of community living. The humorous commentary on the challenges and stereotypes associated with aging provides both a light-hearted and thought-provoking narrative.

As the plot unfolds, readers will find themselves not only laughing out loud but also becoming emotionally invested in the characters and their escapades. The exploration of friendships, new beginnings, and the joys (and woes) of retirement makes "Florida Retirement Is Murder" more than just a comedy; it's a heartwarming tale of rediscovery and adventure in the golden years.

While the book's humor takes center stage, it also subtly touches on important themes related to aging, community, and the value of lifelong friendships. It encourages readers to embrace the adventure that can be found in unexpected places, even within the confines of a retirement community.

In conclusion, "Florida Retirement Is Murder" is a riotously funny and genuinely heartwarming comedy fiction novel that will have readers of all ages laughing and reflecting on the absurdities and delights of life in retirement. Courtney has crafted a memorable and entertaining story that will leave you eagerly anticipating your own adventures in your later years, preferably without the murders.

If you're in the mood for a lighthearted and clever comedy with a dash of mystery, "Florida Retirement Is Murder" is a must-read that will brighten your day and have you eagerly turning the pages.

Audiobook Review "A Masterpiece of Voice Acting"

 OUTSTANDING FUN!

Review by Rox Burkey

AUDIOBOOKREVIEWER.COM

The Home Owners Association president dies under questionable circumstances as the story begins. Kris Courtney places the listener inside a gated Central Florida-established retirement community. The resident characters get portrayed as individuals with specific outrageous habits. These people behave like unchaperoned children at a never-ending Sadie Hawkins dance with a spiked punch.


Stewart Johnson relocates to the community with help from his daughter, the lawyer. He feels more included days after moving in than in his home years after his wife died. His new neighbors make him feel right at home. He gets caught up in investigating a neighbor’s death, finding roadblocks from the community services team at every turn. Something stinks, and it’s not the fish from the pelican’s mouth.

The antics of these silver-haired, opinionated relics will keep listeners, and readers, laughing aloud, hoping they can have this much fun in retirement. These are the ultimate unfiltered comments from those who know better but don’t care. You’ll pray your inner child will enjoy this much freedom while getting into this much trouble.

The author, Kris Courtney creates a fun, light cozy mystery with well-developed characters. The story will most likely elicit at least a chuckle if not a full-on belly laugh at the fun.   He creates a story around people and issues that we can all relate to one way or another – memories, experiences, etc. This is definitely a fun and light read.

The narration by Mari Oyaizu Carson masterfully kept the voices perfect for all the characters. The story’s pace added to the excitement and tension of this satirical murder mystery. A masterpiece of voice acting that makes listening easy and impossible to pause.

I highly recommend this cozy mystery in the audiobook format. You’ll be sipping the fruity chick drinks and toasting to new friends in no time.

Editorial Review ~ Readers' Favorite

 





Lexie Fox ~ Readers' Favorite

Florida Retirement is Murder is the latest comedy-mystery from Kris Courtney. The book tells the story of widower Stewart Johnson after he retires to Florida and meets a group of fellow retirees who bring him into their community. As Stewart becomes part of the mischievous community of Snowbirds who refuse to act like grown-ups, a strange mystery begins to draw them in when they discover that a killer walks among them. Suddenly faced with a serious problem, this group of decidedly un-serious people must do what they can to get to the bottom of the mystery.

I’m always happy to read books where the twilight years are treated as something to look forward to, with new friends to make and adventures to go on, and fewer reasons than ever to take yourself too seriously. Kris Courtney has put together an excellent character study that humorously portrays its characters without letting them stray into clown-like caricatures, with the end result being a playful cast of well-realized people whom I would love to spend time with in real life. The mystery is particularly well designed and developed with many twists and turns that, combined with the characters, made for an exciting and unique sleuthing experience that will stick with readers well after they finish. Florida Retirement is Murder celebrates the joy of retirement with characters that will have you pausing your read to finish laughing, and tells an engaging mystery adventure whilst doing it. It is a book that I highly recommend to all readers.
