I have been asked many times to suggest a good mystery that does not contain sexual content or explicit language. Quite honestly, it is not easy to come with many titles that honor these requests. However, I just finished one.
"Getting Old is to Die For" stars Gladdy Gold and her troup of girlfriends, the youngest of which is 71 years old. They are living in a retirement village in Florida adn keep active by solving crimes. Gladdy is being pursued by Jack Langford who is More...

The murder in this book was an old cold case. I liked how it was handled. Not the outcome expected, however, very realistic. The other mystery was another lesson in life, then the 3rd mystery was just fun.
Every book this Author writes is a winner for me.

Quote from the book: "Even though she's thirty-eight and chubby, her outfits make her look happy and friendly."
I didn't read any further than that.

4th in the series.... very amusing and this one was cool because it had unexpected twists. It was sad to see what happened to the girl Jack 1 had saved. :(

I was disappointed in the ending. It seemed too soft and wimpy of a solution.

This is the first book in a cozy series. The main characters are a group of senior citizens that live in a community in Florida. I read the paperback version of this book and have to say that I wish more books included the information this one did. Inside the front cover was a list of all the characters - with a brief description, a map of the area involved, and a translation of Yiddish terms used throughout the book. I found the characters well developed and the dialogue flowed very well.

The girls show that they too can ferret out the bad guys without Goldy. Thank goodness Goldy and Jack have come to their senses and are ready to move on to a real relationship.

I love Rita Lakin's books. They're funny, just a touch irreverent, and not meant to be taken too seriously. That said, I liked the first three books in this series better than I did this one. While this one has some excellent moments, it also had too much exposition. I felt I was told more of the story than I got to experience with Gladys and the girls. I hope that changes back with the fifth book, which I will definitely read.
