Nice
This book is very 'nice 'and it's just waiting to be serialised on TV with elderly venerable actors taking the main roles. However, it's 'niceness' is also its failing. The lack of any grit means it becomes cloying and no pearl ever forms. ...more

One of the most enjoyable murder mysteries I've read in a while. Funny and charming, and I didn't see the ending coming -- always a good thing in a mystery. I especially liked how the elderly characters are presented. Too often the assumption is that just because someone's old, they no longer have their mental faculties or something to offer society. This simply isn't true. The author treated these characters with the respect they deserve.

Parts were so good , i couldn't put the book down. Parts were totally confusing. Characters with 2 names and characters with similiar names.

Thoroughly badly written. Annoying characters. The premise is highly unlikely, if not impossible.
I enjoyed it very much. I laughed at many parts and enjoyed the humor. Some sad parts with losing your loved ones but otherwise I enjoyed it very much.
Re reading to read the new one, I forgot how funny it is! I love the humor and the characters. I do remember feeling like there were too many characters to keep track of.
