Book Description:
“NEVER TRUST ANYONE UNDER SEVENTY-FIVE!”
That’s the motto of the Gladdy Gold Detective Agency. Don’t laugh: having solved a case of serial murder, Gladdy and her eccentric neighbors are building their reputation between canasta games and pool exercises–hunting down everything from lost pocketbooks to missing octogenarians. And when a jealous woman sets them after her wayward husband, and a flasher strikes their retirement complex, two seemingly unrelated cases collide with a third: a series of dastardly murders targeting Florida’s wealthiest wives.
But when the girls win tickets for a luxury bingo cruise, they hit the jackpot. Because this ship is carrying not only Florida’s fiercest bingo competitors but also a killer–and it’s up to Gladdy and her friends to stop him before one of them becomes his next victim….

A fun read full of quirky characters. We should all live as long and as well as Gladdy Gold. This time she's on a bingo cruise.

Gladdy Gold, narrator and heroine of Lakin's first book, Getting Old is Murder, is back at it, along with her memorable cronies. This time, they have formed a private detective agency and are sleuths for the blue-haired set. I liked this one even better than the first, and looking forward to the third in the series.

Sequel to "Getting Old is Murder", but the main character seems irritating enough so that you don't have to read the first one to enjoy this one.

I get the biggest kick out of the characters in the books in this series. This is the second one I've read and I loved both of them.

fun, fast read. It is about a group of ladies in a retirement community in Florida who solve crimes. Lots of humor.

A fun, fast read. I live in South Florida (I'm not quite a senior) but I know several Lanai Gardens communities, , and several characters just like Gladys and her friends. If you are looking for a quick, fun read try this series.
