3.5

I laughed (a lot) and teared up (a little) and had an incredible time doing it. I love the concept of this book being a group of senior citizens, bonded together by one interest: true crime. I am always here for stories about people over the age of 25 (of which there don't seem to be many) because it shows how much life there still is to experience - and a book like this reminds you that even the elderly have so much life to experience. 

The plot was intriguing, and per the norm for me, I had no clue who done it, but once it was revealed, it all came together wonderfully. I enjoyed the cast of characters immensely and I look forward to reading more of their adventures solving mysteries together.
