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.

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.

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!

For everyone who wonders about the "senior seminar/hostel"
experience, ELDERNAPPED by George Freedman gives a day by day account of what to expect with a unique twist . This amusing cultural journey to Padua with a dash of intrigue will have you registering and packing your bags!!!

Travel to beautiful Italy with a vibrant and intelligent group of seniors with whom you will quickly feel a kinship and treat yourself to a fun filled vacation, sprinkled with a touch of mystery. You can accomplish this in your very own home by reading "Eldernapped", a story which also paints a charming and interesting picture of several cities visited. If you actually take a trip, I recommend "Eldernapped" as the perfect book to read on the plane or train because you will be enjoying two trips for the price of one.
