genre: contemporary mystery
This book isn't so much about murder solving as it is about the people SOLVING the murder. In this case, those solving the murder are four senior citizens living in a retirement/assisted living community in the British countryside. Each of these four are quirky in their own way, and their camaraderie is what made this book enjoyable for me. Otherwise, it was a bit slow going. There are many secondary characters that feel a bit caricatured and we switch point of view so often it can get disorienting but one particular point of view was great fun. In the end, the whole plot felt quite cobbled together but I'm not sorry I gave this a try and I bet an audio version might have been more enjoyable but ah well.
