Monkey Soup Boogie is definitely a COZY, Baby Boomer mystery.  The first 3 lines set the fast-pace mystery:  "If you're an old man with lots of money, you're sexy.  But, if you're an old man without any money, you're just a dirty old man.  I'm the latter."It's about A Barney, Willie, and Oscar the beer drinking monkey.  Also, Willie's cousin Mary helps in various ways.  Their friends also help them every step of the way to solving who killed Freddy.The author, Robert Gannon, has a good handle on senior citizens and their gripes.  The retirement jokes are side-splitting and honest. The characters are people I'd like to know. The daily woes, and activities, of the 50+ crowd ring true.  When I'm not laughing, I'm groaning at the absurdity of it all.  I was chuckling and LAUGHING OUT LOUD throughout the book.I would recommend Monkey Soup Boogie to anyone who likes humor, senior citizens, and a good mystery with a bit adventure.I can't wait for the next book in the series
