Much like the criminals at the center of the case, I also vastly underestimated how smart, resourceful and entertaining a group of retirees could be. The mystery is clever, the twists and turns are brilliant, and the cast of characters is funny and charming. Its a perfect whodunnit for fans of classic British mystery. Catch up before Book #3 hits the shelves in September!
