Introduction
A cozy murder mystery set in San Francisco and along the rugged California coast, the Fog Ladies are spunky elderly amateur sleuths plus one overtired, overstressed, and newly suspicious young doctor living together in an elegant apartment building. When a family man kills his wife, the Fog Ladies set out to discover the truth. Their probing finds the threat is perilously close to home, endangering another troubled family struggling to survive. Dealing with grieving and loss, parenting as a grandparent, cricked toes, and hearing loss with deference and humor, the Fog Ladies find that marriage can be deadly.
