ABOUT TAINTED ROSE
Maybelline Beasley enjoys
her life in the Silver Leaf 55+ community until her neighbor is murdered. With
all eyes point at her as the prime suspect, she struggles with her fear of cops
and her attraction to Detective Billy Bob Cooter. Can he save her from the real
murderer who’s looking for an escape goat? Or will her second change at love
come to an end by a killer’s gun?
Excerpt:
Misery warred with anger inside Maybelline’s chest. Attempting
to work out some of her frustration, she swept her hand against her car door,
slamming it shut. “What the hell am I supposed to do now?”
Luckily, someone higher up must have known she was ready to
scream because a blue mini-van turned into her driveway. Recognizing her
friend, Charlene behind the wheel, Maybelline waited by the rear of the car for
her friend.
“I thought you’d be inside putting your breakfast casseroles in
the oven.” Charlene exited her vehicle and walked between the two parked cars.
“What’s up?”
Unwilling to repeat the same conversation she’d had with the 911
operator, Maybelline pointed at Rose.
“Holy shit!” Charlene slapped a hand over her mouth.
“I don’t know what’s wrong with her, but she’s not responding no
matter how much noise I make.”
“Doris and her precognitive abilities. Damn it. We should have
known when she started in this morning about Rose.” Charlene wrapped a
comforting arm around Maybelline’s waist. “Do you think she’s dead?”
