If you love Love the Senior Sleuth nitch in cozies you will certainly enjoy the "Old Gang" series. Have read all the Mrs. Polifax series, Christie of course, but my favorite was the Corinne Holt Sawyer "Camden-sur-Mer" series. The only problem being, eight were not enough! When looking for something along the same unique line, I stumbled on the "Old Gang of Mine" series. I finished the first one and am halfway through the second and I LOVE THEM! Benny, Peter (Slick), and all the gang are delightful! The first one is "Old Gang of Mine" and much time is spent on character unraveling that I am surprised that I can only find three books in the series? I have always had affection for Seniors and now that I am on that same doorstep, I really relate and appreciate their lives being celebrated with significance and ongoing living. The balance of sensitivity, humor and mystery is so worthy and enlightening lives of continued enthusiastic interests. Only downside is I can only find 3 in the wonderful series.

Well written and easy to "fall" in to. Sure everyone will find a character that reminds them of a loved Aunt, Uncle or Grandparent. Besides being a great murder mystery it also opens up your thinking on the aged - brings home the fact that old people are people too!
Delightful! Humourous, intriguing-great book for the beach!

I thought this was a good murder mystery book to really relax to. The characters (Benny, Alice, Eleanor, Peter - to name a few) were well written and the dialogue and humor had me giggling out loud throughout the book. It had me cheering at the end. It was a delight to read and is a great book to bring along on a vacation or trip.
