This book is laugh-out-loud funny! It’s written how elderly people talk and it’s lovely to identify people you know in that. Mixed in with tender reflections on ageing and end of life, a beautiful read.

Such a fresh take on a mystery novel. A perfect mix of emotional, mysterious and cozy. I love that the novel is mostly written from the perspectives of an older generation because it's a perspective that we don't get to see very often. We tend to forget that the elderly have entire lives behind them and that they are in a phase of life where their partners and best friends are dying and getting sick constantly... A tragedy that we as young people get to ignore for a long time to come. I found all the characters so lovable and will be reading the next book the series ASAP!

Absolutely brilliant writing, fabulous character development, wonderful sense of humor! It deals with some gritty topics, but it's always a pleasure to read. Witty, intelligent, thought provoking and fun.

This was an easy and entertaining read. Some of the characters came across a bit flat for me, but the plot was interesting and had some twists I didn’t see coming. Now that the gang has been introduced, I’ll probably read the next one and see how the writing compares.
