Josie Posey, a mature yet?ever-feisty?big city crime?reporter turned crime solver, has officially?retired to a small, touristy town in middle America where she and her posse of friends "unofficially"?have their noses in everything.

Josie loves her new life, but a?weekly game of mahjong isn't enough: she itches?to get back into the action. She gets more than she bargained for when?The Village Gazette?asks?her to interview their local celebrity, a former NYC prima ballerina.

Then, the ballerina's husband is discovered dead-face down?in the couple's beloved field of flowers. Now, Josie has the inside track on solving the murder, with her?quirky Mahjong Mavens as useful sidekicks.

And if a killer in their midst?wasn't enough distraction, Josie's matchmaking friends?are pushing her to date again-particularly, to pursue an attraction toward?a certain local blacksmith, with whom sparks fly.
