I received a free download of "The Senior Moment" by Eva Hudson, in exchange for an honest review. This was a great crime thriller with a strong thread of humour. A senior citizen making a difference!Jean Henderson has travelled from London to New York City to visit her son and his new baby. But being at the wrong place at the wrong time, places her as a witness to a fatality at a grocery store robbery, and she catches a glimpse of the face of one of the two criminals as they remove their mask and getaway on their motorbike. Jean tries to inform the police at the scene,of what she has just witnessed, but no one would listen to a senior citizen. Jean heads to the nearest police station, to file a report, where she meets a fellow senior, Stanley Rozello, who is soon to retire from the force.But why won't anyone listen to her? She was only sixty-five not ninety-five!When Jean reaches her son's home, she finds neither of them there and a strange message left for her from her son. Her son and pregnant wife have disappeared, owing a large sum of money to a loan shark. She must put a plan of action in place to find her son and right the wrongs.This was a fast paced very good crime story that changes the preconceived notion of "old Age". I loved the humour and characters, especially the determination of Jean in this novel. Never under value the abilities of a sixty five year old senior citizen...especially when she is mad!
