Title: Death with a Twist of Lemon
What would you do when your mind fails?
Stranded at Acun, a beachside nursing home in the lost village of Pehuen Co (Argentina), Clementina, an eighty-six year old, has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and wants to go into one more adventure before she can’t remember her own name.
The problem is she’s short of money. Desperate, she plans to con the other women of Acun, but as always with Clementina, things don’t go as planned.
A roulette of drugs, thefts, and murders flood the quiet of Acun, forcing Clementina to decide what she’s willing to sacrifice to get her way.
