Publisher's summary

Ever since the cops revoked his private investigator's license, Charlie Bradshaw has been adjusting to life as a regular senior citizen. But reading, sitting around the house, and making amateur home repairs is a far cry from his past life as Saratoga Springs' most successful everyman detective.

So when Charlie discovers the sprawled corpse of Saratoga Springs' biggest nuisance on his sidewalk, the ex-P.I. is torn. Should he risk asking questions of his own, knowing he could easily be prosecuted for doing P.I. work without a license? Or should he avoid the trouble and spend his twilight years in peace? Well, the case was practically delivered to his doorstep.

Disappointing

What a letdown! All the things I enjoyed about the other Charlie Bradshaw mysteries were missing from this one. This Charlie is a stereotype, afraid of getting old, grasping at tired tropes of masculinity to reassure himself, and afraid of women. There are none of the interesting character insights that made the others in the series special. The narration was another irritant.
