Can't Wait Wednesday/Waiting on Wednesday #589: I'm Not the Only Murderer in My Retirement Home by Fergus Craig

 


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that had been hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlighted upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. I'm now linking up with Can't Wait Wednesday hosted over at Wishful Endings.

From the Publisher: After a decades-long stint in prison, former serial killer Carol is looking to kick back and relax in her new retirement home...until a fellow resident drops dead and Carol has to prove she actually didn't do it this time....

Carol is delighted to be leaving her tiny prison cell behind to take her place in a luxury retirement home. She's hoping her past as a serial killer won't come to light so she can make a few friends and find some murder-free hobbies. But it's not long before a fellow resident—who happens to be a former police commissioner—drops dead, and Carol's  true identity is leaked—making catching up over daily activities of bingo and baking rather awkward. 

Just her luck, Carol soon realizes that the victim wasn't the only former law enforcement officer at Sheldon Oaks—it's filled to the brim with former cops, barristers, and government representatives, her newfound friends included. And everyone thinks Carol's guilt is a no-brainer, but she is ready to prove them dead wrong...without killing anyone, for once.

I'm Not the Only Murderer in My Retirement Home by Fergus Craig is expected out February 17, 2026 from Berkley. We don't have to wait long for this one!

Why am I waiting on this book? I want to see what Fergus Craig does with the idea of a retired serial killer. Why did she retire? Was it solely to stay out of jail? Or was it that it was getting to be too much trouble at her age? What happens when she realizes there are multiple retired law enforcement officers in her home? And how does she ferret out another killer to prove her innocence? Needless to say, I have questions and I'm looking forward to seeing what the answers are. 

What book are you waiting on? Leave a note in the comments so we can check it out and maybe add it to our ever growing TBR lists. Thanks for stopping by! Happy Reading!
