This is the 2nd of this series I have read and I love them both. Apparently reading them out of sequence has no effect on the pleasure of the book.This is a lighter mystery with a different kind of detectives. Some of the reviews do not like this set of detectives because they are obsessed with food. Yes they are, but if you really think on it, their food is a replacement for a deceased wife on one side and not having a wife or family on the other. Better food than booze or drugs folks. Lighten up. Their food obsession makes them more human.Another review said when she got to the part where these 2 detectives read a devotional everyday, give me a break. So because these guys took daily time to connect with their creator you will stop reading? Strange.This is a story of the murder of an elderly woman in her home. Her front door is 52 steps above the street. For these 2 detectives the 52 steps is a difficult climb. I can understand this completely. This is an old fashioned who done it that is packed with humor, clues to who did it, and detectives who keep on trying to find the murderer. The story is well written, flows smoothly, and you can get right into the story.The characters are well written and you can relate to them. The detectives are written as having heart and humanity.There is no sex in this book so it is suited for ages 16 on up. . I recommend this book highly.Enjoy your read.
