Description

In between jobs, Olivia Greer is helping residents of the Hello Age retirement community on to their bus when one of their own is found dead. Murdered in the herb garden, a sprig of thyme is clutched tight in his cold, lifeless hand. Worse yet, Olivia's former student, Raleigh Ulrich, is suspected of the crime.

Now, Olivia is on the case and determined to clear Raleigh's name. Unfortunately, focusing will be difficult.

A trapped squirrel terrorizing her car.
Her phone mysteriously dropping calls.
It seems someone or something is sabotaging her investigation.

As residents come forward with shocking revelations, Olivia begins to fear something nefarious is happening at Hello Age. With hunky architect Michael Bellemare can they uncover the truth before Thyme runs out?

The laughs and intrigue continue in A Thymely Death, the fourth book in the Lily Rock Mystery series!

    I was super sad to finish this one because I still have over a month to wait for book 5. I loved all of the twists and turns in this one. You won’t be disappointed! It’s exciting and keeps you on the edge of your seat.

    This fourth novel in the Lily Rock Mystery Series is a delightful read from beginning to end. The topics revel in the current issues of elderly care, prescription drug usage and family dynamics. Olivia and her group of fellow citizens go to great lengths to help those need. Well paced and snappy dialogue makes you feel like you are among friends, because you are!
  • Visiting Lily Rock is always a good thyme…

    As always it is a joy to return to Lily Rock! Each new book in the series is like returning home to your old neighborhood. The characters continue to grow, revealing more of their endearing quirks. The romance between Michael and Olivia continues to blossom. But their relationship is not the only one! Love is definitely in the air. In addition to blossoming love, Lily Rock is also blooming as the town welcomes a new bakery run by none other than the famous Cookie Kravitz! Add a new garden center next door to the bakery and the introduction of the Hello Age retirement community and the idyllic community keeps growing. Despite the delicious treats, beautiful garden, and adorable residents the new places aren’t quite what they seem…all three seem to be tangled in a web of intrigue and possibly murder. But was it murder or just a thymely death? A Thymely Death is definitely the most complex of of the Lily Rock mysteries. There is never a dull moment as Olivia attempts to solve what happened before it’s too late. A little aside from the the cozy mystery plot, as a reader that is a member of the LGBTQ+ community I am especially appreciative of the inclusion of Raleigh. Not only for Raleigh’s role in the story line but also for the author’s compassionate and authentic inclusion of pronouns and gender.
