A quirky group of seniors attempts to solve one murder
while covering up another—with the help of an
enterprising tortoise—in this twisty, darkly funny
mystery from the author of Three Bags Full.
It has been an eventful morning for Agnes Sharp and the
other inhabitants of Sunset Hall, a house share for the old
and unruly in the sleepy English countryside. Although they
have had some issues (misplaced reading glasses, conflicting
culinary tastes, decreasing mobility, and gluttonous
grandsons), nothing prepares them for an unexpected visit
from a police officer with some shocking news. A body has
been discovered next door. Everyone puts on a long face for
show, but they are secretly relieved the body in question
is not the one they’re currently hiding in
the shed (sorry, Lillith).
It seems the answer to
their little problem with Lillith may have fallen right into
their laps. All they have to do is find out who murdered
their neighbor, so they can pin Lillith’s death on
them, thus killing two (old) birds with one stone (cold
killer).
With their plan sorted, Agnes and her
geriatric gang spring into action. After all, everybody
likes a good mystery. Besides, the more suspicion they can
cast about, surely the less will land on them. To
investigate, they will step out of their comfort zone, into
the not-so-idyllic village of Duck End and tangle with
sinister bakers, broken stairlifts, inept criminals, the
local authorities, and their own dark secrets.
