About this listen

Octogenarian sleuth Myrtle Clover has never heard of the dice game Bunco. Regardless, she steps in as her daughter-in-law's sub and reluctantly puts her game face on.

Bunco turns out to be child's play. But when a body is discovered, Myrtle realizes another game is afoot. Before long, she's playing cat and mouse with the killer.

Can she track down the murderer before the game is up? Or, with the killer playing hard to get, will it end up being "no dice"?

After a monumental plumbing issue at Elaine's house, Myrtle graciously says that she'll host the month's Bunco game. With plenty of wine, the night begins with ten other women having fun before the game even starts, with Puddin and Miles subbing for two of the regular women. Things change drastically when a member of the Bunco game ends up dead in Myrtle's backyard. Myrtle discovers her dead, beaten over the head with a wrench left behind by her hapless yardman, Dusty.

What follows is another mystery that Myrtle is determined to solve before her police chief son. With her usual tact (or lack thereof), Myrtle begins the task of talking with each of the suspects. But things take a turn for the worse when Miles comes down with a vicious stomach virus and is taken out of the investigation early. And when another body turns up that appears to be linked with the first, the killer becomes even more dangerous. As Myrtle gets closer to the answer, she becomes more aware of the danger. Is this Myrtle's last case, or can she solve it before she's added to the body count?

This mystery is another fun addition to the Myrtle Clover Mystery Series. With familiar old characters as well as several new ones, this book expands what we know of the small town of Bradley, North Carolina and winds us deeper into the webs of secrets that fill the town. I enjoyed the twists and turns of this mystery, and the killer was deceptively clever. Myrtle's attitude was just as snide as ever, and yet she proves she loves her family and close friends very much, in her own way.

If you enjoyed the other Myrtle Clover books, definitely pick up this one. But once again, I would suggest starting at the beginning of the series. The mysteries are so much fun, and the characters in the small town of Bradley are fascinating. The atmosphere of the small town just gets better and better as the series goes on. And even the main cast is being expanded as we go on. I can't wait to read even more about this wonderful town and all of the wonderful characters.

Mrytle is one of my favorite characters in a cozy mystery. She is spunky, smart and unstoppable. I can't wait for the next book to be available on audible.
