Preview Rising Water
At 59, Nan plans to spend her retirement in the beautiful home she's created in St. Charles, Missouri. Then her husband announces that he's accepted his dream job-without consulting Nan-and they are moving to Washington, DC. Needless to say, the relocation signals a huge change. Most of the work lands squarely on Nan's shoulders. Suddenly, she's living in a small apartment and surrounded by boxes.
Badly in need of a way to de-stress, Nan pops into a tai chi class at a local community center. There she hopes to make new friends and gain a more positive outlook on life. The first tai chi form-rising water-seems easy enough. And the other students seem friendly. The class is made up of female senior citizens, many of whom are retired from "government work," which is Washington insider code for CIA.
After the class, Nan and a new friend take a detour through the ladies' restroom where they stumble over the body of a classmate. This poor woman's head is submerged in a toilet bowl. All the energy, peaceful and otherwise, has left that body. It's the perfect introduction to Nan's true calling as an amateur sleuth.
