New life+ new job =murder investigation

I want to say I enjoyed this book and for the most part I did but it was just too long winded for me. Going into a lot of detail about running the retirement community complex, which was interesting but not relevant to the mystery and I got this book because it was a mystery. You had to sort out what was to do with the mystery and what was just background noise. I did like the characters and Cleo never let anything fluster her, making her a good main character. The kitties a must for most cozy mysteries were present and while fun were another thing that took her away from the murder investigation. The mystery was good and did take a number of twists but I wouldn't say that Cleo never really investigated the murder and more stumbled over information. I would probably listen to another book in this series but not in any great hurry to do so.
When Cleo is offered early retirement from her teaching job, she decides to visit her daughter while she thinks about it and stumbles on a new job, a new place to live and new friends. The only problem is she hasn't even unpacked her moving boxes of started her new job before the director of senior living is found floating in the pool and Cleo is asked to take over her role. It doesn't take her long to work out something is a miss at the retirement community and the previous director could have been murdered because of what she discovered. Can Cleo whip the remaining staff into shape and save the community or does the problems run to deep. Just how far would somebody to go make sure there secrets stay hidden?
I liked the narrator. There was a lot of characters in this book and some how she managed to make them all sound different.
