A cozy mystery with a slightly different twist...the mystery solver is an spry, elderly woman in a Florida retirement community. Plagued by "senior moments", arthritis and a kvetching circle of biddies, she still manages to outwit the bad guy. Pretty funny and nicely written. The Yiddish glossary provided is a nice touch.

Nice fast read. A little slow at the beginning but got better. Someone is murdering the nice old lady's at Lanai Gardens, an apartment complex in Southeast Florida and it happens the day before their birthday's. Everyone wants to believe it was from natural causes. Gladys Gold thinks differently, she believes they are being murdered. Now she has to make everyone including the police believe her.

Starts a little slow as you have to meet all the characters and there are a lot of characters. But if you persevere to the middle it grabs your attention and keeps it.

Cute story in the mystery genre that has a cast of seniors as real characters! Kind of reminds you of the "Golden Girls" (main character is Gladdy Gold....hhmmm, I wonder...)!

First in a series and a very easy read!
