A plethora of mysteries & murders
Geneva Pomola and her friend, Iris, can't seem to avoid being involved in murder investigations in their small town. The police eventually decide to use their expertise and intuition to help solve the crimes. The two sleuths are attacked with bullets, harpoons, swords, arrows, and knives, as they interview suspects. Their crime solving ability serves their community well. They always solve the crimes. I loved Geneva's interaction Iris, who seems to be always writing a novel that is never finished and with and Geneva's poetry-writing boyfriend, neither of whom ever achieve their desire for fame. Geneva is the leader of these three "musketeers" and she never veers from her goal of solving crimes.

A treat of murder mystery novellas
Geneva, a retired English teacher, and Iris, a municipal water employee, team up as an unlikely crime fighting duo in a smallish Indiana town. And even more curiously, they are supported and depended upon by the town’s lone police detective. It is remarked by both women that they feel like murder magnets, given the uptick in serious crime since they started working as unpaid private crime scene investigators and interrogators. The stories are generally 12 chapters (or 120 pages) of clever mysteries that end when solved without a formal gathering of suspects and interested parties for a formal revelation of the bad actor, the evidence and the motivations behind the murders.

Just how old is old?
Well, I was a little appalled at the notion that 50 something is old but I guess that is relative as to where you are in life. The stories are light, the characters move along slowly in life and the adventures are okay. But I am 20 years older than Mrs Pomolo and me and my friends are just as active. As a,matter of fact, retiring at 58 is young....most of us hung out until 65. Not my favourite series of murder solving seniors.

Beautiful boxed set.
I loved that this was written about two women who solved the mysteries, all the stories were clean, attention keeping. Well written series, and grateful there are.more. I would recommend anyone who loves mysteries and, especially anyone with Kindle Unlimited to read these. But, that said, they would definitely be worth paying for also.

I read these books and Gen and Iris had some crazy adventures. I just wish the police had been featured more in the solving of the crimes. It was almost as if Gen and Iris were the only ones that could solve them

Very amateurish writing. Couldn't really like the main characters much. I wonder if it was written by AI the way that it's worded.

I love cozy mysteries, quirky characters, and outrageous stories, but this collection fell short from delivering. I tried to like Geneva and Iris, the MC and her sidekick, but they were just entitled, judgmental, and there was no character development whatsoever. After a couple of mysteries, they just start telling suspects that they are private detectives, and the police department just lets them do whatever they please, because apparently they’re just utterly useless. The narrative is not focused, sometimes too repetitive, other times contradictory. And the mysteries were either too easy to solve, or suddenly solved by divine inspiration, but not by logically following the clues. Murders are somehow solved, but other crimes, like vandalism or theft, are left unsolved, and never to be spoken of again.
I did enjoy how the characters bring up Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, or other masters of mystery stories, as “inspiration” during their investigations. Too bad Mrs. Pomolo can’t begin to compare to Holmes or Miss Marple.
I managed to read almost half of the series, but I had to give up. I hate leaving books (or series) unfinished, but I just got bored.
