Murder in a Gated Community by Laura Koerber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars
Laura Koerber surprises her readers by having a varied genre of telling a story. Murder in a Gated Community is different again and certainly a surprise.
Imagine a group of old people in a gated community with no filter. Not the norm for stories, no but it does lend for some humour and wit. The old adage about being old but not dead rings true for most of the inhabitants of Oaken Acres in this entertaining story.
The plot is intriguing and definitely unexpected but fun and had me laughing out loud at times. With furry friends, secrets, lies, garden politics, challenges, longing, friendships. It is a story with a deeper meaning of looking at your past and adjusting to where you are now.
This heart-warming tale is full of a colourful cast of characters each having their own heartaches, issues, grumps, gripes and whinging.
Unfortunately, the ending felt like there was a lot left unresolved and ended abruptly. Whether or not that leaves it open for more I don’t know but I felt a little lost. Having said that I did enjoy the story.
If you enjoy murder mysteries, you will enjoy Murder in a Gated Community.
