The chaplain is the last person you expect to die in a nursing home. Can Taylor piece together the clues to catch the killer?


Taylor Quinn loves her new family life just as it is. Her nearest and dearest all say it's time to send Grandpa Ernie to an old folks' home, but that's the last thing Taylor wants. After all, as Grandpa says, "Everybody who moves there dies."


When the chaplain of Bible Creek Care Home gets stabbed in the back during the annual resident tea party, Taylor fears her Grandpa is right. One of the waitstaff witnessed the murder and fears she was seen by the killer. After talking to the police, she turns to the only person she thinks can really help: Taylor Quinn, the town's amateur detective.

Taylor's always willing to help a friend, even if it puts her on the bad side of the sheriff and the murderer. When a second body is found at the nursing home, Taylor fears time is running out for the young witness.

Can she unravel the tangle of clues before the killer strikes again?
