Really enjoyable. Some great laughs and emotional gut punches. I love spending time with these characters. There were some storylines that I felt were unresolved by the end; I hope they get picked up in the next novel.

Another fun and funny crime investigation by this tight-knit group of four English retirees. They again draw on their life experience and diverse skills to uncover the mysteries of an old crime.

There's a bit of black humour, though nothing too dark. There's also nothing profound about the novel, but that's not the point of it anyway; it's just a bit of fun light reading.
