Description

Book 1 in this award-winning, endearing cozy murder mystery series. Before there was The Thursday Murder Club, there were The Fog Ladies. Fans of Richard Osman will enjoy them.

Overworked, overtired, overstressed young medical intern Sarah James has no time for sleuthing. Her elderly neighbors, the spunky Fog Ladies, have nothing but time. When old ladies start to die in their elegant San Francisco apartment building, Sarah assumes it is the natural consequence of growing old. The Fog Ladies assume murder.


Mrs. Bridge falls off a stool cleaning bugs out of her kitchen light. Mrs. Talwin slips on bubbles in the bath and drowns. The Pacific Heights building is turning over tenants faster than the fog rolls in on a cool San Francisco evening.


Sarah resists the Fog Ladies' perseverations. But when one of them falls down the stairs and tells Sarah she was pushed, even Sarah believes evil lurks in their building. Can they find the killer before the killer finds them?

About the Author

Susan McCormick is a writer and doctor who once lived in an elegant San Francisco apartment building much like the one in the book, minus the murders. In addition to the award-winning Fog Ladies cozy mystery series, she also wrote Granny Can't Remember Me, a lighthearted picture book about Alzheimer's disease and dementia, and The Antidote, a middle grade to adult medical fantasy. She lives in Seattle and loves giant dogs.

Reviews

A very specially crafted 'whodunit' style mystery by an author with an impressive flair for originality and a distinctive narrative storytelling style all her own.

--Midwest Book Review


The colorful characters are sure to enchant the reader, and the mystery will keep them guessing until the surprising finish. A suspenseful whodunit.

--New York Journal of Books


With a series of twists and turns, McCormick builds intrigue... Just as the fog lifts as the day unfolds, Sarah uncovers the truth for the Fog Ladies.

--Finalist, Killer Nashville Falchion Award for Best Cozy


Filled with laughter, fun, twists, and turns... A mystery, a story of friendship, and a thoroughly entertaining book that I strongly urge you to read; you will not be disappointed.

--Readers' Favorite


An atmospheric, cozy mystery...an entertaining whodunit...deftly crafted...with a light touch of interlaced humor.

--Ray Walsh, Lansing State Journal


I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would love to have my own group of senior ladies to meet with like Sarah does. I could really use the Fog Ladies advice and of course baked goods!

--Reader Views


Glued to the pages... When I thought I had it figured out, the author changed direction... The play-by-play action reaches a frenetic pacing [in] a race against time... Life goes on in the building complex and I look forward to their next foray.

--Raven Award Winner Dru Ann Love of Dru's Book Musings


I was on the edge of my seat wondering when and how they would finally fit the pieces of the puzzle together... I had so much fun reading The Fog Ladies. Fans of cozy mysteries would do well to pick up a copy of this thoroughly entertaining book.
