Review: a comfortable read

I downloaded this free on my kindle.  I didn't have high expectations, but the read was better than I anticipated.  The 90+ old Myrtle is an extremely likeable senior sleuth and the crime is believable.  She has a great relation with her daughter -in-law which was refreshing.  Because of her age, Myrtle's son (the local sheriff) wants her to act her age and stay out of his way.  But two bodies are found in Myrtle's backyard (not at the same time) and she just cannot step back.  She spends time sneaking around as she tries to solve the crime and her neighbor Myles (a younger senior) is her sneaking assistant.  This is an easy read that was believable and enjoyable.  Someday when I feel like a good easy read again, I will consider buying a Myrtle Clover mystery.  If one of these books comes on the free list, go ahead and download it and see if you agree.
