This book was so fun and clever. Elderly people, murder and a tortoise. What more could you want?? Thanks NetGalley!

What a surprising and wonderful read. Not a boilerplate cozy mystery (as my library blurb tried to tell me) but instead a mystery, a book about aging, personhood, justice, family, and grappling with our pasts. And quirky-funny!
