There's more going on at the Belle Meade than you'll find at your typical retirement village. Two of the elderly residents have recently dropped dead, and while their deaths were ruled natural causes, Cissy Kendricks is sure her friends met with foul play and is determined to prove their deaths were anything but natural.

Andrea Kendricks isn't sure her mother is on the right track when Cissy moves into Belle Meade, going undercover as a resident. As Cissy's somewhat unwilling sleuthing sidekick, Andy joins her mom more for moral support and to keep Cissy out of trouble than believing there's actually a crime to solve. Still, Cissy may be on to something as she discovers there's more going on in the victims' lives, including a high-priced dating service for women over 60. Could one of their potential dates have had anything do to with their deaths?

McBride's latest Debutante Dropout Mystery is a witty, well- written who-done-it. Cissy and Andy are terrific foils for one another, with just the right amount of parent-adult child tension and humor in their interactions. The mystery element of the story was believable and made sense. This is the third book in this series (including THE GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDER and BLUE BLOOD), and even though this story stands independently, I found myself wishing I knew a bit more of Cissy and Andy's history. McBride's fans are going to enjoy this one!
