Review
"Engrossing and funny, Eldernapped is a neatly plotted book full of varied, delightful, and feisty characters... want a sequel .." -- Beaufort Gazette, Dr. Joseph Golden
From the Publisher
In their debut adventure, Naomi and Harry Levine take a "Senior Seminar" trip to Padua, Italy, and discover more than Giotto's frescoes in the Cappella Scrovegni (Arena Chapel). They uncover a plot to kidnap, "eldernap" as Harry refers to it, an octogenarian fellow traveler, Emily Thorndike.
Emily is a feisty little woman who manages to mystify both her fellow travelers and her attackers until one fateful evening. What happens next is a puzzle of intrigue as Naomi decides to step in, with a reluctant Harry assisting her, and get to the bottom of who would want to snatch a little old lady, and more importantly, why?
Harry and Naomi are delightful, and the descriptions of the treasures of art and culture in the fabulous Italian city of Padua will make readers want to visit there on their next vacation. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Who would enjoy this book?,
By Miriam Cohen (New Rochelle, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eldernapped (Harry & Naomi Levine Mysteries) (Paperback)
There is a niche audience for this book - anyone old enough to attend an Elderhostel program; those who have attended and find it fun to recognize the people and situations they have experienced; readers who welcome an amusing, non-violent, and literate 'dectective' story. I look forward to the next adventure of this attractive, elderly couple.
4.0 out of 5 stars
This is a fun read!,
By Ruth G. Matz (Belmont, Massachusetts United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eldernapped (Harry & Naomi Levine Mysteries) (Paperback)
As an experienced traveler with senior groups, I found this lighthearted mystery very enjoyable, with a special appeal for older readers. The characters were familiar and fun, and the adventures of the detective couple and their new-found friends were highly ingenious.
5.0 out of 5 stars
A Highly Entertaining Adventure and Travel Story,
By Dan W. Golden (Huntingdon Valley, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eldernapped (Harry & Naomi Levine Mysteries) (Paperback)
Eldernapped by George Freedman is a unique combination of action-adventure yarn, mystery and travelogue. Set in Padua, Italy, it follows the adventures of Harry and Naomi Levine as they try to find out who is Emily Thorndike, and why is someone trying to kidnap her. All the characters are well-defined, with interesting life histories and significant roles to play in the narrative. The book offers rich descriptions of the artworks of Padua, many unpredictable twists and turns, and a delightful surprise ending. Eldernapped is a quick and entertaining read. I look forward to the *next* Harry and Naomi Levine mystery!
