Physical Therapy, Murder, and Mayhem

This is a story of murder and mayhem that happens while Rose, a married physical therapist with two small children, works in a local nursing home. Her patients include eighty-nine-year-old Grace, who is eager to return home to her beloved ninety-year-old husband, and Alice, a long-term resident who needs a structured program to improve her everyday function. Several of her patients have complained about the cold coffee and the romantic actions of some of the staff members. During Rose’s normal workday a murder is committed. It appears that the murder may or may not be related to the kitchen serving cold coffee when all the residents want hot coffee. Or it might be romantically tied to jealous staff members. The Recreation Department decides to hold a mock trial to determine the murderer. Who did it, and why? Was it justified? You be the judge.
