Praise for the Myrtle Clover series…
ForeWord: “The treat here is Myrtle’s eccentricity, brought to life with rich humor and executed …with breezy skill.” Overview:
Who wants chips and dip when they can have Dickens and Twain?
To the residents of the sleepy town of Bradley, North Carolina, hardworking Jill Caulfield seemed beyond reproach. She volunteered at the women’s shelter, worked … volunteered at the women’s shelter, worked at the church preschool, cleaned houses for extra money, and actually enjoyed yard work. And she was nothing less than a saint to cheerfully put up with her unemployed, skirt-chasing, boozer of a husband.
When intrepid octogenarian sleuth Myrtle Clover caught Jill, her new housekeeper, peering into her medicine cabinet, she should have been upset. But discovering that Jill wasn’t such a squeaky-clean goody-goody made her vastly more interesting in Myrtle’s eyes.
Myrtle would have happily continued figuring out what made Jill Caulfield tick. If Jill hadn’t foolishly gone and gotten herself murdered, that is.

I Love Myrtle ! She is funny and a fantastic sleuth who always gets her killer. A great story to read over and over again.
Retirement gives her more time for sleuthing!
Progressive Dinner Deadly is a cute cozy mystery featuring one of the spunkiest octogenarians! Myrtle Clover is blunt, she’s funny, she can’t cook, and she can solve a mystery faster than anyone in town, including her police chief son who lives across the street.
While I did find it to be a slow …
I received this book for free. I am voluntarily posting this review and all opinions expressed herein are my own.
This is the second [or possibly third book per Audible] in the Myrtle Clover Mysteries series. I have not read any of the prior books in this series. It is a standalone book with no cliffhanger ending. I had no trouble following …
Myrtle is an octogenarian who solves murder cases in her little community. Red, her son, is the detective in charge and is trying to keep her out of it. Myrtle and her friend, Miles, are looking into one death when another occurs. Myrtle asks so many questions that she becomes a target of the killer. This is a cute little mystery.
The second book in the Myrtle Clover Mysteries Series is even better than the first. With the same core characters but different secondary characters, we delve even deeper into the town of Bradley, North Carolina and see some of the darker aspects of such a small, tight-knit community. There are some things that you will never live down in a small …
This review is for the audio book.
I read this book a while ago and remembered that I really enjoyed, so was pleased to see it had made its way on to audible. I jumped at the chance to see if I was right. Glad I did because my memory was right I did enjoy it, in fact I might just have to say I enjoyed it even more as an audio book. I love the …
