ELDERCIDE
When quality of life declines with age and illness, who decides if you're better off dead? Nursing supervisor Claire Lindstrom suspects a killer is making the final judgment call for the clients of Compassionate Care.
 
A woman with Alzheimer's disease dies unexpectedly in the night. Another is found dead beside a stream. Claire sees the beginnings of a sinister pattern, but Paula Rhodes, her temperamental boss, doesn't want her raising questions. The survival of the home health care agency in upstate New York depends on its reputation for quality care, and a rash of mysterious deaths could kill the business.
 
Claire antagonizes the county coroner and becomes the prime suspect in the eyes of the police. All the while, from his vantage point near her cottage on Kooperskill Lake, a killer called Gabriel is watching, channeling his obsession with Claire into passionate paintings. Under another name, he's a man she already knows - but which one? And is he part of a far larger scheme of eldercide?
 
Our society is rapidly aging, our allotted life spans growing ever longer, but at what cost? Eldercide explores ethical dilemmas most of us will face - if we live long enough. To read the first chapter, go to the author's web site.
Read A Review:

Lomoe has created the eeriest situation imaginable in her new book, ELDERCIDE. She has also created the creepiest villain since Shakespeare's Richard III. You must read this book!

M.E. Kemp, author of Death of a Dawdy Belle

 
Nursing supervisor Claire Lindstrom usually manages end-of-life problems with intelligence and common sense, but can she discover who's killing the clients of her Compassionate Care agency before she becomes the murderer's next victim? Julie Lomoe draws on her own experience as founder of a home health care agency to create a well-paced mystery laced with convincing detail and atmosphere. Claire emerges as a spunky and appealing protagonist, one I hope to see more of as this series continues.
