Review: Not My Favorite
Rating: 3 out of 5

I give this book 3 stars because it held my interest enough to finish it but not to read another in the series. As an aging baby boomer myself, I am drawn to mysteries with senior sleuths and really enjoyed the first chapter or so.  While I realize the importance of being able to "suspend disbelief," I was unable to do so to the extent required by this book.  What begins as an apparently simple murder escalates into a terrorist plot of national dimension.  With no common sense whatsoever, the two crime solvers manage to bumble into one dire situation after another.  About halfway through the book, I wanted to say, "Enough already." Further I did not find either of the women to be particularly likeable.  If you enjoy mysteries solved by intelligent and lovable seniors, check out the Maxie and Stretch series by Sue Henry.
