Enjoyable Read
I really enjoyed this book. The three elderly women are a hoot. Interesting plot and the women's bantering is laugh out loud funny. I can't wait to read the next book.

Mixed feelings. Parts were very good and other parts were very confusing to me. Will probably read the next one to see if more my cup of tea.

If you are like me over that little 60 you will laugh your assets off and if you're not you will laugh you're assets off Riley Blake is a fanomminal writer of cozey mystery mayhem and murder writer for all ages to enjoy the senior array of characters in this series are vibrant, colorful and quirky and those under the magical age of that little number are as colorful and intriguing drawing you in wanting to get to know them better while the mystery entices you further with its drama engaging intrigue and adventurous mystique. The plot carries you throughout from start to finish with its sense of humor and familiar sense of family and friend dynamics. Acquire " Vintage Whisperers " (A Cozey Retirement Mystery Book 1) to enjoy it as much as I have. 😀😉 Kat

The female Stooges hit the retirement home scene and cause mayhem
An okay read. Three seniors are talked into moving into a retirement home. However they cannot keep their nosy selves out of the latest scandal to hit their community. A missing body and coroner. The characters were great and as annoying as real people we know. However the plot fizzled out at the end. A pity as it was a good read until then.

Too silly
Confusing list of characters. Could not make it work for me. The book cover looks like a comic book. Maybe that is why I thought it was silly and uninteresting.

Best friends since childhood enter a retirement community on a “trial” basis. While sitting on the porch rocking away, they contemplate what to do with their children; that put them there. The banter between three old and dear friends is quite hilarious. While the banter is taking place, they discover three different stories to the death of a former neighbor.
As the three 72 year olds investigate the bizarre death, several others show up.
Who thought retirement could be so fun. A good light read!!!!
