of the house and out of her hair every day--organizing the reenactment of the town's 1779 Revolutionary War battle. While
Jim's focused on meetings and marching practices, Carol plans to shop 'til she drops (using her secret credit card) and enjoy
frequent lunches with her friends. The unexpected appearance
of Elizabeth Porter, a ghost who's been hanging out in Carol's house for over two hundred years, forces her to cancel her
plans. Elizabeth tells Carol that during the original battle, she murdered her abusive husband and got away with it. She's
not allowed to pass over to the Other Side until she confesses her crime to someone and receives forgiveness. After two centuries of waiting for the right person, Elizabeth's picked Carol. For the Holidays, Mistletoe Can Be Murder Carol is planning her grandson CJ's first Christmas down to the last detail. What she didn't plan for is a furnace
fiasco, the unexpected appearance of CJ's Other Grandmother, Margo, and her new boyfriend, a family feud, a stolen credit
card and murder. When Margo's boyfriend becomes the police's chief suspect, Carol is forced to add crime-solving to her holiday
to-do list before Santa can come down the chimney. From Suspense Publishing on Amazon here. In Any Election

many questions, she discovers that politics can be a murky world of hidden secrets, greed, and murder. Available on Amazon

About the new Class Reunions Can Be Murder,
Reader Favorite published this review: "The clear but deft writing style and the witty dialogue make the reading fun
from start to finish. Class Reunions Can Be Murder is a cozy mystery but the clever plot with the unexpected twists is on
par with the much heavier mystery novels that I have read before. I absolutely love the hilarious yet astute sayings at the
start of each chapter....Overall, a superb
novel. Author Susan Santangelo is a true gem in the mystery and baby boomer genre."

Since January 1, 2006, Baby Boomers are turning 60 at
the rate of 8,000 a day, and coming face to face with how to define, and re-define, our “golden” years. Being
part of this national phenomenon inspired me to write this mystery series. The first book, Retirement Can Be Murder,
tackles the potential emotional impact of retirement on a typical Baby Boomer couple, Jim and Carol Andrews. Carol dreads Jim's impending retirement more than a root canal
without Novocain. She can't imagine anything worse than an at-home husband with time on his hands and nothing to fill it --
except interfering the day-to-day activities of their houshold and driver her crazy. Until her plans to stall Jim's retirement
result in her husband being suspected of murdering his retirement coach.
As the series continues, I'm doing lots of author talks and signings. The stories other wives have shared with me
about their husbands' retirement have been both funny and poignant. I'm thrilled to say that Retirement Can Be
Murder has gotten terrific reviews. Midwest Book Review calls it "an entertaining and
lighthearted read from a real pro. The Baby Boomer mysteries promise to be as germane as 'Murder She Wrote.' It would make
a great television series." And Booklist says, "We'll look forward to more Boomer mysteries in
the years to come....Pure fun." A little about Susan: I've been a feature
writer, drama critic, and editor for daily and weekly newspapers and magazines in the New York metropolitan area, including
a stint at Cosmopolitan magazine. I'm a member of Sisters in Crime, International Thriller
Writers, and the Cape Cod Writers Center, and divide my time between Florida and Cape Cod, MA. I share my life with husband
Joe and English cocker spaniels, Boomer and Lilly. Check out Retirement Can Be Murder, Moving Can Be Murder, Marriage
Can Be Murder, Class Reunions Can Be Murder, Funerals Can Be Murder, Second Honeymoons Can Be Murder and Dieting Can
Be Murder, all on Amazon.com. To schedule
