Publisher's summary
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 unruly 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 lap. 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.

Vera Wong is a lonely little old lady—ah, lady of a certain age—who lives above her forgotten tea shop in the middle of San Francisco’s Chinatown. Despite living alone, Vera is not needy, oh no. She likes nothing more than sipping on a good cup of Wulong and doing some healthy detective work on the Internet about what her Gen-Z son is up to. Then one morning, Vera trudges downstairs to find a curious thing—a dead man in the middle of her tea shop.

Two years ago, a hostile Prime Minister launched the Monochrome inquiry, investigating "historical over-reaching" by the British Secret Service “to investigate historical over-reaching.” Monochrome’s mission was to ferret out any hint of misconduct by any MI5 officer—and allowed Griselda Fleet and Malcolm Kyle, the two civil servants seconded to the project, unfettered access to any and all confidential information in the Service archives in order to do so. But MI5’s formidable First Desk did not become Britain’s top spy by accident, and she has successfully thwarted the inquiry at every turn.

Critic reviews
"Moira Quirk does an excellent job portraying a variety of senior citizens who are burdened with ailments in this mystery.... Numerous characters pop up in this audiobook, and Quirk gives each a distinctive voice. She is outstanding at pacing and narrating with appropriate emotion, both in dialogue and narrative. The story develops at a leisurely pace.... Quirk's fine narration should keep all engaged. (AudioFIle)

Forced to live as a human under the name of Jeremy Clovenhoof, the dark lord not only has to contend with the fact that no one recognizes him or gives him the credit he deserves but also has to put up with the bookish war-gamer next door and the voracious man-eater upstairs.

The way the villagers avoid outsiders, the furtive stares and whispers in the presence of newcomers… Berit can sense the edge of a story waiting to be unraveled, and she's just the person to do it.

Then, while attending a village tea party, Berit becomes part of the action herself.

Tattooed, pierced, and a bit of a mess, Maggie Moore is a surprising genius when it comes to words, a savant able to solve any linguistic puzzle. The top student in her forensic linguistics class, she’s tapped by local police to use her skills to decipher harrowing notes left by a stalker-turned-rapist—and succeeds brilliantly. But when the daughter of a local mayor is abducted, Maggie isn’t sure she’s the right person to help the police solve the crime. Given what happened to her best childhood friend, Maggie just might be too close to this one.

Very Enjoyable!
A very enjoyable laugh out loud tale of a group of aging hippies/ senior citizens with a very good story behind it. Kept my interest from beginning to end. Cleverly written with quite a group of lively characters, including a chubby little boy as well as a very lovable animal or two! Definitely worth a listen. 💕

Twisty and darkly funny - as promised
“There was a whippersnapper chained to their radiator.”
The summary was right. This was at once a cozy, breezy listen about a colorful group of seniors … and also a dark comedy with a growing body count and many, many twists and misdirects. However, while some of the topics (namely murder and aging) were dark, I didn’t find this graphically violent or too scary.
This had the feeling of Knives Out, minus the lead character Benoit Blanc. There are a lot of characters to keep track of, some of the twists are far fetched, and it ran a little long in the middle. But, the payoff was that it kept me guessing and reassessing right to the end.
