The 2nd book in the "retirement" series. Two residents of a retirement community (not a nursing home!) work together with their friends and the police to solve another murder in their small community.

Friends Caledonia and Angela are featured more in this follow-up to "The J Alfred Prufrock Murders" and are assigned small tasks by the police to keep them out of the way. However, during their search, they once again put themselves in grave danger. While trying to solve the mystery, Angela and Caledonia also work hard to dry out an alcoholic in their midst for what they claim is his best interest. However, little do they know that he prefers to live out his final years in an alcoholic stupor.

This series shows that retirement does not mean "out to pasture" and shows how valuable the elderly are (to those that, unfortunately, need a reminder!). The characters grow with each book in the series and this book was another look at these delightful "people". Great for all ages! Enjoy!

Angela and Caldonia once again are in the middle of a murder that happened at their Retirement House -- this time the Police Department give them a couple of chores to do to supposedly help but in actuality ---to keep them out of it! They just are not capable of releaving their daily bordem and dive in .... a wonderful read.

Just because they are in their 70's doesn't mean that Angela Benbow and Caledonia Wingate don't enjoy working to solve a murder mystery. They, like most residents of their California seaside retirement community, take an instant dislike to Amy Kinseth, a new resident who proves to be rude and unfriendly. When Amy is murdered there seem to be no lack of suspects. Even though the police are working to solve the case, Angela and Cal feel that they possess an intuition and knowledge of the retirement home that will be helpful in finding the murderer. When a second murder occurs the women know that their help is needed more than ever. This delightful book is the first one of the series that I've read, but it will not be the last.
