Book Description

Publication Date: Feb 7 2011
Are the wives in Merry Acres so very merry?

When Husbands start dying, seemingly by accident, and the secrets behind these deaths have so marred the gloss of happily-ever-after, can murder be only a gold wedding band away? Or is there something else causing Merry Acres to be anything but merry.

About the Author: Nan D. Arnold

Nan lives with her husband, three felines, and a million characters chattering inside her head.

3.0 out of 5 stars A fast-paced read April 19 2011
By BookChick TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
Georgiana Duncan insisted that she and her husband, Daniel, move to the retirement community of Merry Acres when they reached "that" age. Now, with few prospects for making new friends, a husband too busy gambling or playing golf to stick around for long, and a money-pit of a house to fix up, Georgiana isn't too sure. She becomes even more concerned about her decision to move there when several women's husbands end up murdered. Are the newly minted widows in Merry Acres hiding something, or is there some other force at work here? And would Georgiana really be so unhappy if her own husband were to mysteriously kick the bucket?

"Merry Acres Widows Waltz" was certainly a departure from my usual reading selections. It had murder, intrigue, and a breathless (yet satisfying) ending. I couldn't help but feel some pity for our main character, Georgiana. We find her at the beginning of the novel uncertain as to why she was so determined to move to Merry Acres in the first place. Her husband certainly hasn't changed since the move, their house continues to drain their financial resources, and the women in the community seem distant and just a little unusual. When the men living in the community begin meeting their untimely demise, one by one, Georgiana is really questioning her decision to become a part of the retirement community. But with a mystery on her hands, and the free time to solve it, she begins chasing down some surprising answers.

Well-written, fast-paced, and clever, "Merry Acres Widows Waltz" is a must-read for anyone who enjoys curling up with a good mystery.

Merry Acres Widows Waltz is a delightful read with many twists and turns. Nan D. Arnold continually gives her readers everything they want . . . a story you wish would never end with lots of tension and keeps the 'whodunit' ever present on your mind until the very end. Nan is one of my favorite authors whose witticism always makes me laugh. A guaranteed good read!

4.0 out of 5 stars WATCH OUT, WAYWARD HUSBANDS! Mar 23 2011
By Cheryl B. Dale - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Yeah, someone's killling off straying and/or obnoxious husbands in Merry Acres. The Florida retirement community ought to be perfect for couples looking to get out of the rat race and into a life of sunshine, swimming, and golf.

But for some husbands, their dreams don't come true.

Hmmm. Could some unhappy wives have something to do with it?

Kept my attention till the end. Never did figure out who did it till then!
