Who says exercise is good for one’s health? Certainly not Polly Dent!
Polly Dent Loses Grip on the treadmill and takes a fatal spill that’s ruled an accident.
While helping her mother-in-law move into Bridgeton Towers Assisted Living & Nursing, LaTisha Barnhart’s nose smells trouble simmering. The residents’ gossip is revealing all kinds of motives for murder.
Gertrude Herrman is out looking for love in the form of Thomas Philcher (or is it love of his fat wallet instead?), and Polly’s fall eliminates Gertrude’s competition once and for all.
Otis Payne, the venerable director of Bridgeton Towers, is over a barrel when his wife demands cash—or else she’ll carry on without him.
Mitzi Mullins’s penchant for rhyme puts her in direct line as perpetrator of the crime, and Sue Mie’s mistake seals Polly’s fate.
Can LaTisha stay on her achin’ feet, and one step ahead of the villain, long enough to solve yet another crime?

This review is from: Polly Dent Loses Grip: LaTisha Barnhart Mystery Series (Heartsong Presents Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is one of the best books I have ever read and believe me I have read quite a few. I could not believe that someone wrote about a large woman and old people, about all I ever read about is small young beautiful women and I think that is was time for someone to remember we are not all in this catagory. This book is about an older, large black woman that has quite an imagation and loves to solve mysteries. She and her hubby help the mother-in-law move into a care center and they are staying a few days with her to be sure she does ok, but Polly dies the first night of their stay. This is another woman in the care unit and LaTesha just has to find out what happened so she starts to interview all these prople and gets her husband involved. I just sit back there in my bed last night and laughed at the way the 2 of them are with each other. She is so much like me. She just keeps on and I could not imagine who the culprit was, it really turned out so great, I wish I had the first book about her bunnion surgery (I have those also) and plan on getting it very soon. This series is very special so any of you older ladies that like to read these books are a must.

Takes place in an assisted-living facility. Something doesn't seem legitimate to LaTisha and Hardy. Do they really want to leave Hardy's mother in this place. While they are moving Hardy's mother Matilda into the facility, Polly Dent falls from a treadmill and is dead. Of course, LaTisha has to know all the facts. The persons in the facility are a hoot. Fun reading for a rainy day.
