This isn't the sort of book I normally read but the description appealed to me and I started reading and found it entertaining.  Molly narrates the story.  She and four friends are all ladies of a certain age and live in a block of apartments in Florida together with the even more elderly Mrs B and Harold - who is something of an enigma.When Cynthia, a sister of one of the friends, comes to stay the problems start.  Cynthia dies in suspicious circumstances and Molly is first suspect but every one of the group has a motive. What happens when Harold, who has secrets of his own, offers to help Molly clear her name the fun starts along with misunderstandings and red herrings enough to furnish more than one crime story.I liked the cartoons scattered throughout the text - Molly is a retired cartoonist and I thought the whole story was amusing.  I liked the characters and the style of writing.  I recommend this books if you enjoy a crime novel which is a little out of the ordinary.
