Mrs. Entwhistle Plays Pickleball
Mrs. Entwhistle didn’t want to play pickleball in the first place, but she did it for Maxine, her best friend and co-conspirator. When the ladies wound up in a rehab facility as a result of an ill-fated game, you might think they’d curl up and recover from their injuries…if you didn’t know them. Before their bones had time to knit, Mrs. Entwhistle started picking at the loose threads of a mystery. Join the ladies as they prove that neither age, wheelchairs, canes, nor dark of night can scare them off from a juicy investigation. As Mrs. Entwhistle says frequently to “Are you up for a little jaunt?”

I’ve read all of the books in this series and just love them all. This one doesn’t disappoint.
Mrs Entwistle and her bestie Maxine are up to their usual shenanigans and I just adore the setting (southern America).
Such fun light hearted reading- perfect for a quick weekend away read or a lovely “palette cleanser” in-between serious books 😋
I was thrilled and surprised to read that the author only started writing at age 70! What an inspiration!

From pickleball to crime solving...
If you're about the same age as Mrs Entwhistle and her close friend Maxine, you never tire of reading Doris Reich's books about the characters she's developed over the years. The two characters always find themselves in "unusual" situations that are laughable, could be considered dangerous or serious and yet they always manage to find a solution. In this book the popular game of pickleball ends up with serious bodily injury, hospitalization, and a period of recovery in a nursing home. While there, the infamous duo detect serious drug problems, a potential murder, and resort to their sleuthing, breaking and entering and even a creative way to help a fellow patient escape.
This is a quick read that is bound to make you laugh even while you recognize that the author has identified serious issues that frequently occur in nursing homes and how helpless residents are to resolve the problems on their own.
