Let me preface this review by saying I have been known to be so engrossed in a good book-I am still reading at 2 in the morning.  This book however, actually put me to sleep at 2 in the AFTERNOON?If it's a mystery - it is sorely lacking.  If it's a comedy - it isn't funny.The plot drags along, pulling with it 2 overweight, "retired" detectives who seem to sustain themselves on candy.  Being of the age they are they plod around, aren't aware that shrimp cocktail is not uncooked shrimp ("why isn't it fried??")  and bad catsup or the eggs benedict is not an unfortunate accident.  They appear to have no knowledge of anything not covered in sausage gravy.I read up to 2 murders and a missing person and began speed reading until I could no longer stand it- the tedium got to me and I called it quits.If your idea of a good mystery is that of having just graduated from children's books--this may be the one for you
