It's a cozy murder mystery that also explores becoming empty nesters and/or downsizing a home--which involves saying goodbye to a house that you love. There are even some tips about considering a move at the end of the fiction book.

As with most cozy mysteries, I do wonder how long the series can sustain itself when the amateur sleuth is investigating murders when she really has no reason to be around so many murdered people or have so many friends who are accused of murdering someone. Though I do understand the desire to help friends and family who are wrongly accused.

There were some formatting issues in the kindle copy. ( )

“Moving Can Be Murder” by Susan Santangelo:

Santangelo continues to delight her readers with this second in her Murder Series.

No matter how hard she tries, Carol Andrews ends up being the star attraction in her hometown of Fairport, Connecticut. Because her husband Jim—her ‘Beloved’—is retired and due to his slight health issue, they decide to move into an adult active community. Their old home is sold and it’s one less thing Carol needs to worry about…at least until the night before the closing when she goes to the house to say her final goodbyes and finds a dead body. Unfortunately, it’s the new owner. To say the sale is dead is redundant.

One of her best friends is a suspect in the homicide and Carol cannot just walk away and let the cops deal with it. That would be the actions of a sane person. No, she again ‘lends’ a hand to find the killer. Is it Mary Alice, her best friend?

What does a house sale, thrift shop, nun, and garbage have to do with Carol Andrews? Trust me, it wouldn’t be much fun for me to tell you. You have to read this book to find out! Just as with “Retirement can be Murder,” “Moving can be Murder” makes you laugh out loud. Another ‘Santangelo 5-Star’ read that you won’t want to miss!

“Moving Can Be Murder” by Susan Santangelo:

Speaking of moving…move over Janet Evanovich, Santangelo has the chops that prove a thousand fold she’s got what it takes to play with the big dogs! With biting wit, charm and a heaping spoonful of ingenuity, Santangelo brings us another installment in the lives of Jim and Carol Andrews, two baby-boomers who can’t seem to stay out of trouble’s sight.
‘Geezer tour’ is what Carol calls looking at Elderly, Adult Communities. Deciding to sell their large, family home is the first step the Andrews take into yet another “fine mess”. To be fair and accurate, it’s Carol this time who is accused of murder, or at the very least seems highly suspect. Jim’s just the guy that’s married to her.
In true Carol Andrews form, she is bound and determined to find out what really happened the night she found a dead man in the living room of her empty house on the eve before it was due to be sold. To make matters worse, you’ll never guess who the dead body belongs to. When the news of the identity hits the reader, there’s much more to come where it’s concerned, and I’m not just talking about who may or may not have done the dirty deed.
This story is jam-packed with Carol’s cast of best buds and signature Santangelo fun! As I watched the story unfold before me, I couldn’t help but chuckle at every turn. She speaks the absolute truth in the way that every wife would if she had the brass ones to do it. Carol has learned the subtle art of keeping her mouth shut—when it’s absolutely necessary. However, that doesn’t stop her mind from working overtime with the wise-ass quips and quick-witted, sarcastic remarks she allows to roll around in her mind and has become famous for.
It seems a moot point to say this, but Santangelo has done it again. She has penned a magnificent cozy that will leave you panting from the excitement, laughing at the characters and—no surprise here—begging for more.
