MEXICO, MARGARITAS, AND MURDER!

The residents from Camden-sur-Mer retirement home think Halloween south of the border is pretty frightening.

From Library Journal

Elderly protagonists Angela Benbow and Caledonia Wingate, residents of an ocean-front retirement center in California, find excitement in Mexico. When group trips to Tijuana and Ensenada result in two deaths, the duo investigates. A clever diversion.

From Booklist

Miss Marple never had it so good. Caldonia Wingate and Angela Benbow live in a lovely retirement community near San Diego where the temperature always hovers around 70 degrees. But the crafts class can get a bit boring, so some of the residents decide to take up Spanish and are soon off on a jaunt to Tijuana. The trip ends badly for one of the troop, who dies during a carnival ride. Then, during another excursion, the bus driver dies on the road to Ensenada, leaving Caldonia and Angela smack in the middle of their seventh mystery. Readers of all ages should find this caper a delight. Sawyer provides it all: clever, uncliched sleuths, a well-described setting (Sawyer could have a career as a travel writer), and an engagingly plotted mystery that doesn't distract from the rest of the book's charms. Long live Caldonia and Angela! Ilene Cooper --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: Murder Ole! (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the last of the Camden SuMer series, and it's not the best. However, it's fine for a quick read.

Ms. Sawyer really has a fun little cozy series. The two main female characters are hilarious! Mrs. Benbow is funny, frustrating yet endearing. The retirement home these folks live in is one i would love to be in one day!
I have all of this series and am dismayed Ms. Sawyer will not be writing anymore. she was a treasure.
