I liked this one quite a bit, good plot, good character development and it's actually well written. According to the blurb: When a retired Chicago reporter dies under mysterious circumstances in a nursing home, investigative journalist Dana Sloan takes it personally. Dana's editor - who'd considered the ex-newswoman both a mentor and a friend - believes the woman had stumbled upon a big story just before her death. So Dana decides to go undercover as a desk clerk at Peaceful Pines to find out what the eldery lady knew that got her killed.

What she discovers is big - and shocking. Not only does the posh senioers' facility have a connection to a powerful politician with a dirty little secret, but Dana also finds clues that seem to be related to a wave of serial murders. Could the deadly figure known as the Royal Flush Killer be roaming the halls of Peaceful Pines?

Beautiful gift copy!
The characters were well written. A investigative reporter investigates a retired reporter's death in a nursing home. She's in competition with her grumpy police detective boyfriend. Political intrigue and money attempt to thwart their every move. It was a quick read that kept me interested in finding out "who did it!"
