5.0

This is a very lovely murder mystery book. The characters are mainly very elderly and that is very much an aspect of their personality, not the entirety of who they are. They definitely have a Ms Marple vibe too. Frankly the perceptive writing made me think of how absolutely punk rock being elderly could be. The plot is complicated but not hard to follow. But, again, the delightfully vivid nuanced characters are the heart of this story.
