Death At Gleaming Grove Jeffrey Marlin

Four years ago, Arnold lost his memory to a bizarre form of amnesia, turning him surly and reclusive. Now he's found a trick for beating his affliction -- only to find himself hip deep in Gleaming Grove's senior feuds and lunatic dramas. If it isn't furious conflict between Gazebos One and Two, it's the invasion of his diary by a fiendish alter-ego, his saintly wife's crazy-making grudge against his former shrink. When the oddly tattooed niece of neighbor arrives, homicide joins the party. Arnold plays first-rate bridge (and-so-so softball) throughout, gleefully stirs the pot, and handles tragedy by using his mental quirks to keep himself sane.
