Including three books: Poker Chips & Poison; Hip Flask & Hanging; and Knitting Needles & Knives

The Silvermoon Retirement Village is a quiet, refined refuge from the world. Nestled in the hills above Wellington its residents look forward to living our their days in peace and tranquility.

Unfortunately for the rest of them 97 year old Alice Atkinson lives there. And quiet, peaceful and tranquil are three words that most definitely do not apply to her. She's had an eventful life and picked up some useful skills. Now she has to dust off those skills because it turns out that Silvermoon isn't the haven it's brochure suggests.

Over the course of three books with the help of her often-reluctant sidekick Vanessa, Alice proves that there is no age limit when it comes to investigating murder, as long as you have your wits about you, a youthful offsider, and a black belt in karate.
