“An epic murder mystery . . . This novel is a delight, tugging at
your heartstrings as it explores the grief, insecurities, and beauty
that come with aging.”—Oprah Daily (Best Books of the Fall)
Reeling from her husband’s death and best friend’s dementia
diagnosis, seventy-six-year-old Linda Davidson feels lost and alone.
Her beloved daughter Kleo and son-in-law Mick have moved into her
house to keep her company, but the constant bickering quickly turns
their presence into yet another worry on Linda’s long list. Eager to
escape the tension at home, Linda goes to visit her friend at Legacy
Place, a memory care facility for the elderly, where she meets Jenny
Cooper, a ninety-two-year-old dementia patient who makes a shocking
confession: she kills people. Linda dismisses the so-called secret as
the confusion of an ailing mind, but Jenny seems strangely lucid
during their visits as she recounts stories of her many
victims—mostly men who hurt her. Then a fellow patient at Legacy
Place dies. Everyone else sees it as the natural death of a sick old
man, but Linda can’t help but wonder: is there any chance Jenny’s
telling the truth?
