Murder in Hickory Estates: A Florida Retirement Community Mystery of Theft, Secrets, and Murder

A murder mystery in Hickory Estates, an over-55 community in Central Florida..When money paid by marina boat owners quietly disappears from a special account, the residents of Hickory Estates assume it’s a bookkeeping error. Then a woman who knows too much is found dead, and what began as a financial dispute turns into something far more dangerous.

Tim Sanders, a retired CPA and marina committee member, never intended to investigate a crime. But as records vanish, stories shift, and respected neighbors begin protecting silence instead of answers, Tim realizes the murder was not about money at all. It was about exposure.
