While this isn't all that exciting, a good mystery could develop out of looking for a "lost" relative.(less)

While it's never actually mentioned, you get the feeling this is Nancy Drew at 90 living in a retirement community. A fun read with great characters. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series. ...more
