a fun mystery

A mystery with a different twist. The author specializes in older , retired people who have to solve a mystery. A lot of twists and turns, some funny, some lethal.

There is a genuine craze right now about decluttering and downsizing. In the murder mystery Unstuff Your Stuff, author Mike Befeler does a clever job of using decluttering as the backdrop for his story. When his heroine Millicent is abruptly widowed, she starts business as an organizer. I was touched reading how she enables elderly people to continue living independently, just by clearing out clutter that poses - among other issues - tripping hazards. This is an enjoyable read with plenty of action.
