I listened to this on audiobook and I really enjoyed the narration. I have spent a lot of time in nursing homes, my mom has worked in one since I was a child and I also worked there for many years. It was easy for me to connect to the older characters, and I was moved by the types of struggles they face that are touched on in this book. It's a very funny murder mystery for sure, but there is depth as well. I laughed out loud, but I teared up and cried too.

This is charming but didnt really grip me. 
There are a lot of characters to keep track of and while they were distinctive I did find myself losing track. 
This did strike me as the sort of book my mum would love. 
I'd classify this as a cosy mystery, if that is something you like then you may love this.

My thoughts and feelings on this are pretty much like those that I have for The House of Games..

The people/characters are a fun bunch but it's overall too relaxed for my taste. Though it kept me intrigued enough for answers to stick around until the end.

Final Rating - 3.5/5 Stars
