One of the strongest of the "retirement center" series with Angela and Caledonia, this one combines a fun makeover attempt with a good mystery. If you like cozies, try this series beginning with "J. Alfred Prufrock."
A lively read!

The 2nd book in the "retirement" series. Two residents of a retirement community (not a nursing home!) work together with their friends and the police to solve another murder in their small community.Friends Caledonia and Angela are featured more in this follow-up to "The J Alfred Prufrock Murders" and are assigned small tasks by the police to keep them out of the way. However, during their search, they once again put themselves in grave danger. While trying to solve the mystery, Angela and Caledonia also work hard to dry out an alcoholic in their midst for what they claim is his best interest. However, little do they know that he prefers to live out his final years in an alcoholic stupor.This series shows that retirement does not mean "out to pasture" and shows how valuable the elderly are (to those that, unfortunately, need a reminder!). The characters grow with each book in the series and this book was another look at these delightful "people". Great for all ages! Enjoy!

Murder in Gray and White

Angela and Caldonia once again are in the middle of a murder that happened at their Retirement House -- this time the Police Department give them a couple of chores to do to supposedly help but in actuality ---to keep them out of it! They just are not capable of releaving their daily bordem and dive in .... a wonderful read.
