I ordered this book on my kindle.I was expecting a real fun read with senior citizens as sleuths. Instead I received two senior citizens as sleuths who had never matured past adolescence.Agnes and Eleanor are fast friends and run a P.I. agency so to speak. They've been called in to investigate a death at the Butler mansion. Once there they encounter the widow. The character of the widow was the first let down for me the reader. The widow turns out to be a shallow witless person which added nothing to my reading. Everything after that you can guess what's to come without reading the book.The biggest let down for me were the main characters, Agnes & Eleanor, who started off on the right track and went nowhere with it. The mansion, possibly haunted, the mysterious murder...it was all there but the author never put any depth of character into the story.I can not recommend this book but I can hope the author make a fresh start with intelligent readers in mind. So nice try but no cigar.
