Some Treasures Are Worth It

I love those feisty gals in their retirement home ,always up for anything and any mystery they can find .They may be a little older than me and you ,but that doesn't slow them down because these ladies really know how to get into mistjuf ,the kind that can lead to trouble. This is a quick example of the exciting life they make for themselves. You just need to read this little adventure to know what I mean.

This was a fun short story about a murder in a retirement home over the Christmas holidays. The characters were a lot of fun. I wouldn’t mind having them around. It would certainly be entertaining to watch them and see all the trouble they get into. I just wouldn’t want the murderer around. I look forward to reading other stories in this series.

A retirement home is just the place for old ladies who like to solve murders. Christmas bazaars seem safe enough but not if someone has murder on their minds. The three main characters are fun and quirky. A fun read you will enjoy.

A retirement home murder mystery

Christmas is rapidly approaching at the home and a Christmas fair is underway. Then one of the residents is found dead. The mystery deepens and the ending is a surprise.

I had a hard time following the story line in the beginning.

The holiday spirit didn’t mention having a new dead resident. Where is the Christmas spirit,, under a pile of snow, during a storm, delightful series

The seniors are on the sleuthing trail again but will they look at the right person?

A slightly tongue in cheek read about seniors. Organising a sale can be fustrating especially when you are dealing with some people. To compound things the death off a resident has them all in a flap. Can the gang of seniors get to the killer before any more deaths occur. The characters are zany and off the wall as is the plot. But this just adds to the charm of this read.
