The Golden Girls meet Dirty Harry…
When Lillian Summer Fairview’s husband up and dies on her, it leaves the last living member of the most prestigious family in the small town of Summer Shoals, Georgia, in a hot money mess. Desperate to keep up the family name and give the man a decent burial, penniless Lil cooks up a shady deal that lands her smack-dab in the slammer.
Burdened by her … slammer.
Burdened by her shameful secret and a crumbling family estate, Lil entrusts Summer Haven’s care to her best friend, Maggie, who recruits two more over-fifty ladies to help. But when Maggie discovers that Lil’s restitution is ten times the amount she “borrowed” from the federal government, she’s convinced Lil has taken the fall for someone else’s crime.
Will these gals be able to get some vigilante justice for Lil, or will the swindler get away with hoodwinking a sweet little old lady?

A really fun read with great characters!
A cozy, fun read with a different take on the cozy mystery. It ends without complete resolution so makes me want to read the sequel.
What I loved most was that the characters were older and full of life. Too many novels are full of young, thin, gorgeous blonds! Enough already
It was like nothing I have ever read. I was thoroughly entertained. Just a lighthearted, fun book. A new author for me.
Unpredictable cozy mystery!
Fun and entertaining, just what you want in a book sometimes.
These grannies are my new favorite characters! A hilarious, quirky group that I would love to call my friends. Can’t wait to read more about these women and their escapades.
Proving once again that great action characters don’t have to be 20-somethings in love….refreshing.
i really loved the characters. very enjoyable cozy mystery. Three older ladies catch the money stealing funeral director. Funny and enjoyable.
I enjoyed this book so much that I ordered the rest of the series.
Interesting, I read for entertainment. Better than tv.
Funny, feisty senior ladies going the extra mile to help a friend. Great characters, lots of laughs in this one. Fun, easy read.
I enjoyed it
Enjoyed this author’s work.
I love to see grannies outsmarting everyone and getting justice. The grannies in this book are superb characters each in her own right. So don’t go lumping those grannies all in one basket!
Looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
Love the spunk of the women. Nice light read for a rainy day. This book had me laughing out loud.
Funny book.
Totally unexpected characters from the usual. Older ladies who know what friendship is all about. I liked it so much I already have ordered another one by the same author.
The characters are diverse & the plot interesting but there were 2 needless scenes involving nudity & sexuality used as a tool for humor. This turned me off so I can’t recommend this book or have any desire to read the sequals.
