Dead and Buried — Jennifer Rebecca

You ever hear the phrase, about as successful as a soup sandwich? Well, that's me, I'm the soup sandwich, but instead of a soggy mess, you have a twenty-five-year-old with a Bachelor's degree in nothing useful who just quit her job at the local home improvement store where there were definitely no tortured billionaires looking to tie anyone up -- and that's not a bad thing. I know, it's looking pretty sad right about now, but at least I don't still live with my parents…So, here I am, embarking on a new journey covering the Funerals and Obituaries section of the local paper, the San Diego Metro News, for the editor -- brace yoursel -- my uncle, Sal. Unfortunately, while my parents are on vacation, my Granny and her friends are determined to stir up some trouble -- but this time, they may have bitten off more than they can chew -- especially when some of the residents of the local retirement community are turning up unnaturally dead.There is nothing that will keep me from protecting the people that I love, no matter how crazy they may be -- not even the sexy, I mean stubborn, homicide detective, Trent Foyle, can stop me.My name is Shelby Whitmore and I'm kind of the newest reporter for the San Diego Metro News, but hey, I'm a hit with the blue hairs.
