Meet Amanda Warren... Amanda Warren is not happy. She's never liked the upscale over-55 active adult community where her husband Rich insisted they live. She's also having trouble creating the paintings that have been her work-and her passion-most of her life. The last straw is her perfect blonde, too-perky next door neighbor Wendi, a widow who's wanted Rich from the moment she moved in. Amanda's world falls out from under her the day Wendi's dead body is found-stuffed headfirst into her oversized designer trash can, wrapped in the victim's trademark purple pashmina. Enter smart, sensitive, hunky detective Jace Connolly, and Amanda's off on the adventure of her life
