The Grim Ripper

by Jeanne Glidewell

The Tables Are Turned When Sleuthing Seniors, Rip and Rapella, Investigate a Doc's Mysterious Death in The Grim Ripper, A Cozy Mystery Adventure from Jeanne Glidewell
When Rip experiences chest pain, Dr. Marco Moretti brings a new lease on life. But when the good doctor drops dead in the parking lot, Rip's wife, Rapella, dives head-first into investigating the doctor's mysterious demise.
When the doctor's death is ruled "by natural causes," the Ripples are skeptical. But later, when it changes to "homicide," Rapella quickly compiles a list of suspects, including another heart surgeon and several nurses.
Now with Rip on the mend from his arterial stent surgery, the retired full-time RVers take on the case together, proving that retirement can be a risky lifestyle.
From The The Ripple Effect series will be enjoyed by fans of Joanne Fluke, Madison Johns, Ceecee James, and readers of cozy mysteries who enjoy light-hearted, clean & wholesome mysteries featuring female amateur sleuths and senior citizens.

About the author

Jeanne Glidewell, a 2006 pancreas and kidney transplant recipient, and her husband, Bob, reside in the quaint little coastal town of Rockport, Texas. They previously owned a large RV Park in Cheyenne, Wyoming for 12 years, which gave Jeanne the idea for the Ripple Effect series. Her main characters, Rip and Rapella Ripple, are full-time RVers, with Rapella solving murder mysteries along the way in their travels. Her other (and first) cozy mystery series, the Lexie Starr mysteries, involves a 50-year old library assistant who meets and marries an east coast jeweler named Stone Van Patten. Together they renovate a historic Victorian mansion and turn it into the Alexandria Inn in the fictional town of Rockdale, Missouri. Lexie can’t help getting involved in murder cases taking place in and around the B&B.

All of Jeanne's novels - a romance suspense novel titled Soul Survivor; 7 books and 1 holiday novella in her Lexie Starr series; and 7 books in her Ripple Effect series - are available at nearly every eRetailer site in both eBook and paperback formats. "The Spirit of the Season" is a holiday novella (short novel) she wrote to benefit her local chapter of the Toys for Tots program, with all her proceeds going to help children in her (Leavenworth) county have a merrier Christmas. Jeanne appreciates your support in this endeavor.
Jeanne’s next release, book 8 in the Ripple Effect series, titled The Grim Ripper, is expected to hit bookstores in May 2023.

A great book, I love all the Rip mystery’. Rapala & Rip are hilarious solving crime
and murder mystery’s. Along with all the crazy characters and places they go too.
Along with their crazy antics that go with them. I have the whole series. And am looking for more books to read.
