This really needed multiple narrators..

Charming, colorful and clever - this was a delightful introduction to a cast of characters I hope we will see again and again. The murder mystery plot was well written; I was kept guessing the entire way. Loved the audio version; the narrator is a *treat* to listen to and made both men and women, old and young, come to sparkling life without feeling artificial. I am not a regular mystery genre reader but count me hooked!

It’s a very quirky narrative. I enjoyed the humor in it.

Narrator’s male voices needed improving too many characters especially with name changes

The first time I tried listening to the audiobook, I couldn’t get into it. I think I had to get used to the narrator and introduction of many characters. However, it was exactly that that later kept me captivated with this book. I loved the narrators voice and accents. It brought characters to life. And the layers of characters were charming and their secrets, although dark, were so humane. I’m glad I gave this book another chance.

Simple, entertaining read. I really didn’t like the Elizabeth character. She was just too unrealistic as was the police being willing to share so much information. If you can overlook that, it’s entertaining enough. Not aa great as the reviews make it sound.

Very cute and wholesome even with the grim topic. Well developed characters and a view into the full lives and sorrows of being old.

loved it, love the series

Profile Avatar Tracy P. Nov 2023

Amazing! Hilarious, poignant, and sweet. You will fall in love with every character. The author and the narrator could not have done better!

Profile Avatar Stephen H. Oct 2023

Best whodunnit I've "read" in a while. Agatha Christie fans should love it. There were a lot of characters to meet throughout and it makes it harder to listen on audiobook but after listening to the whole story and not getting everything but living it anyways, I went back to listen to it again and loved it even more on the second listen. The narrator takes a bit to get used to her voice but so worth it in the end.

Too long, got boring

Profile Avatar Lucy L. May 2023

Richard Osman really understands what the years after 70 are like. This book provided many funny and/or poignant moments that felt very familiar to my 78-year-old husband and me (70). The reader did a great job of differentiating people's voices and temperaments.

Slow

Profile Avatar Molly K. Apr 2023

I often have a hard time staying focused with audio books but the narrator in this one was excellent and engaging!

Profile Avatar Allison B. Nov 2022

The narration was amazing and I loved the book. It made me want to be an 80 year old...having “made it” to the end...hanging around solving murders.

Very sweet and witty. Lovely twists in the plot.

Great book. Wonderful narrator.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Feb 2022

I liked it but didn't love it. I felt like I was missing some back story. Overall ok.

Profile Avatar Debra B. Feb 2022

Too complicated of a story with too many subplots

Profile Avatar Dorothy H. Feb 2022

I liked it but I did not find the tears flowing when I think they should have…

Profile Avatar Susan Rollenhagen Oct 2021

I liked the characters and the plot. The writing and narrating were good.

Profile Avatar Razorette Oct 2021

Really good read!! Love the perspective from the retirement home residents. Great murder mystery that is light hearted without being silly. The narrator was PERFECT for this book. She nailed all of the characters voices. Can’t wait for the next book in the series. I hope they use the same narrator for that one too!

Profile Avatar Cheryl G. Mar 2021

It was okay but I couldn’t find the humor everyone else did.

Profile Avatar Susan F. Jan 2021

Brilliant book with the perfect narrator. I am upset I have finished it.
