My name is Phillipa Hilda Schultz, but everybody calls me Pippi. I run a boarding house for people in the early winter of their lives. You know what I mean... People whose leaves are thinning, and whose lawns are slightly frosty in the early mornings.

I inherited the business from my grams and had no experience running a boarding house when I stepped in. There's no question I've had my hands full. Fractious boarders, broken appliances, leaky roofs, and a very distracting next-door neighbor who makes my engine rev. The best thing I can do for myself is to stay away from Jack Walters. He has a tendency to cloud my thoughts and turn me into a babbling idiot. Forget I mentioned him. I mean, the real problem is the dead body my plucky little blonde dachshund, Iris, found in the flower beds.
No amount of training would have prepared me for that.

This is a five-part serialized romantic mystery novel. I hope you enjoy this fun serialization!
