Joyce, Elizabeth, Ron and Ibrahim don’t have much in common. Except that they live in a peaceful retirement village and have an interest in investigating unsolved murders. When a murder happens right on their doorstep they band together and work to catch the killer.
I’ve realised that perhaps crime fiction isn’t my genre. I wanted to love this so badly but I found it hard to follow and that I wasn’t that interested in the who done it, and more interested in the relationships between the main characters.
The writing was gorgeous, written in part in the form of diaries.
