We see a lot of teens and twenty-somethings in fiction... let's see some older folks get some time in the spotlight!

Jeanne | 30 comments There's a mystery series by Jeanne M Dams where the main character is an American who moves to a small town in the U.K. after her husband dies. She's in her sixties. The books are cozy mysteries and are quick reads. The first book is The Body in the Transept.

Jen W. (piratenami) I think the heroine of The Keeper's Six is in her sixties.

Georgann Just listened to Doctor Who: The Crimson Horror Doctor Who The Crimson Horror by Mark Gatiss . It was so fun and so well done. Plus, Dr Who is hundreds of years older than 60!!

Jen W. (piratenami) Killers of a Certain Age also works for this prompt.
