To keep the Series fresh Johns' has taking my 2 fictional seniors gals pals' scooping adventures "on the road."  A good move, I might add.  In this, the 3rd book in the Series, all the mystery, mayhem, romance, danger followers of the pair have come to expect is present. Additional characters are, of course, added but none as colorful as or Aggie, El, and Mr. Wilson.  (Hey my last name is Wilson.  I wonder if we're related. lol) Andrew is sort of the "straight Man" in this wacky line up. Is the plot or the mysteries complex? No.  Are the characters a bit one dimensional? Yes. Is there "cussing" and suggestive situations and language? Yes. Is there explicit or gratuitous sex? NO. Do quite a few of the seniors apparently still have active libidos? That would be a big 10, 4, good buddy. Are aspects of the storyline predictable? Maybe for some. Are Aggie and El's behavior, agility, sex drives and successful snooping adventures farfetched or implausible?  Maybe for some readers.  Do I have a problem with the latter? Nope!  Did I enjoy this latest installment? Yep!  Why?  Well, I have 2 "senior" great aunts who's mental acuity, physical strength, agility and activities would astound the reviewers who claim that Aggie's and El's are beyond belief.  Moreover, I chose to read this book unrestrained by stereotyping or preconceptions or a lack of imagination which allowed me to enjoy this book in the spirit in which I feel it was created. In fact, I wish that all people 65 and older were blessed with good health, agility, mental acuity and romance, if they desire it, in their latter years. Consequently, by the time I finished reading this book, I had a smile on my face and a warm and fuzzy feeling in my heart.  As long as Aggie and El's antics and adventures, farfetched to some as they may be, continue to elicit such responses I,for one, will continue to read Johns' charmingly zany Senior Scoops cozy mystery series.
