Gladdy Gold, a 75-year-old practicing private eye, resides
at the Lanai Gardens in Fort Lauderdale with her sister,
Evvie, who's dealing with a broken heart following their
last case. Evvie refuses to participate in their next
investigation, instead preferring to wallow in self-pity.
The other members of their senior sleuth group stop trying
to raise Evvie's spirits and begin their new case.
Frustrated with her boyfriend Jack, who wants a commitment
from her, Gladdy talks Evvie into a quick trip to New York
City to see her daughter. Unbeknownst to Gladdy, Jack is in
New York reopening the cold case of the murder of Gladdy's
husband. Jack believes if he can find answers, Gladdy will
finally let the past go and commit to him.
When fellow detectives Ida, Sophie and Bella turn up in New
York, trying to catch a criminal by posing as bag ladies,
the stage is set for laughs, tears and finally some answers
to questions that have haunted Gladdy for years.
Ms. Lakin pens an entertaining cozy mystery series with a
set of lovable and oddball characters. The mystery has a
puzzling plot with twists and turns that will surprise
readers at the outcome. Retirement takes on a new meaning
after spending time with Gladdy and her gladiators!
Gladdy Gold may have gone from dyed-in-the-wool New Yorker
to South Florida retiree, but she’s loving every minute of
it. Between poolside gossip, a hot-to-trot boyfriend, and
a booming detective business, life couldn’t be sunnier —
until a trip back north with her sister Evvie leads to
murder and mayhem starring the usual suspects.
Unbeknownst to Gladdy, her fellow detectives
are hot on her trail. Sophie, Bella, and Ida no sooner
land their tootsies in the Big Apple than trouble promptly
finds them. But while the girls go deep undercover, posing
as bag ladies to catch a criminal, there’s another
surprise awaiting Gladdy. Her boyfriend, Jack, is in town
too — and he’s reopening a 47-year-old cold case: the
murder of Gladdy’s husband. Can Gladdy and Jack join
forces to solve a decades-old crime — and maybe heal some
wounded hearts in the process?
