Book Description

Publication Date: March 28, 2012
Cathy Roberts has it all—an exciting life in a fabulous retirement community, a beautiful home, an expensive automobile, a doting husband, and five wonderful grandchildren. But it isn’t enough for the attractive, well-spoken Cathy. Filled with an insatiable desire for self-gratification, she wants more. Then, as fate would have it, she meets a handsome and single ex-truck driver, Eric Lowe, and the sparks begin to fly. Captivated by the exciting and much younger Lowe, she wants to spend the rest of her life with him, free from the constraints of her marriage. During a chance meeting with a troubled Harley rider at a local bar, Cathy finds her ticket to freedom. The resulting story takes the reader on a gripping journey filled with broken promises, forbidden liaisons, violent confrontations, and finally, murder.

About the Author:
In his fifth novel, R B Conroy uses the setting of his winter home in central Florida to create yet another murder-mystery thriller. The Villages, Florida, a diverse and exciting community, provides the backdrop for this spine tingling tale of greed, deception, and murder. As this book goes to print, Conroy is hard at work on the outline for his next exciting novel.
R B Conroy's other novels include: Devil Rising, Return of the Gun, In My Father's Image and Deadly Game.

P.S. I forgot to mention I did download the book onto my Kindle........can always return it if it's not interesting.

Cody's Original Roadhouse on cover.

I saw that and was wondering if it's a real place in TV.
I don't recall it from our last visit.

I really like the UK's The Book Depository for finding books to buy. Advanced book search at The Book Depository

I did a search on R.B. Conroy.

I mainly use the Book Depository for Simon Scarrow books. These are kind of hard to find in libraries in the US because he is a UK writer who writes about the adventures of a pair of 1st Century AD Roman legionnaires Macro and Cato. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_Series

Well, to be perfectly truthful, so far I'm not impressed.

Yes, it is set in The Villages, Florida and all the familiar roads and places are mentioned.

The first chapter was so poorly written, at first I thought I had downloaded the wrong book..........but that was describing the woman back in her childhood days..........

Next it got into golfers on the golf course, etc., their wives, etc......
I'm up to where she is realizing where she can meet her tennis partner which just happens to be in some "snowbirds" empty home (as she has the remote entry key, etc.)

I'll bear with it for awhile. Sure hope the author DOES NOT live in TV.
Not all the books at the Amazon.com kindle store are great.....but I was curious. One great thing about amazon though, is that if you do not like a book and just cannot get "into it"....you can return it for a full refund, within a certain amount of time.

I'm hoping "Evil in Paradise" will surprise me and get better as it moves along. I thought "Leisureville" was more interesting to read; he was a better writer.......for good or for ill..........

Cody's is real, a great spot on the waterfront at Lake Sumter. They now have a large poster of this books cover on the wall near the entrance.
