Adored everything about it!! Late to the party though....

I wanted to read this one in anticipation of the author's newest, The Man Who Died Twice, which I've already pre-ordered and can't wait to read in September.

What is not to love?

A cast of charming, witty, loveable and unforgettable characters. They meet every Thursday in the Jigsaw Room at their posh retirement community. Four septuagenarians who work on cold cases until they luck out and get a "live case". This is what they live for, these smart birds of a feather.

So much more than a murder mystery, it was all about the colorful characters, the love between them, the life lessons and wisdom. I was 100% invested early on and didn't want to part with the new friends. Lots of humor adds some more charm.

Fun, humorous, thoughtful with a layered mystery. It has an old-fashioned feel, but still modern and fresh. You will need to suspend some belief, but its worth the worry.

Book Two Please! I'm patiently waiting......

Library loan / Read in July 2021 p.s. Thanks to all my GR friends who wrote the wonderful reviews that led me to this series!
