I found it hard to read it did not flow well for me and it was just not that interesting ( sorry)
I loved he characters in this book!
A very creative premise nestled in a unique setting incorporating believable characters. An excellent read.
This was a cute “cozy” mystery if a bit light and predictable. Not one of my favorites but entertaining.
I enjoyed this book as a who dunit. About half way through the book I thought I figured out who did it and was surprised at the end when I was wrong. Never under-estimate the elderly is the take away in this book.
Good for a laugh and also very entertaining/
Oh my goodness I couldn’t book this down.
I lived the style of writing and characters came to life. Easy read. Simply awesome book
I enjoyed this book and was looking for the 2nd book, but I was unable to find it.
This was an interesting read with many twists and an unusual take on a poker game. I recommend this as light reading.
Loved this book!
I loved Josephine & her new friends. This book makes living in an Adult Home sound fun and definitely shows how our minds stay sharp even as we grow older! Great read!!
It was a pleasant read with enough plot movement to hold my interest.
Thoroughly enjoyable
Interesting characters who kept me turning pages.
Characters are so well written that you become completely involved in their lives. I loved every page.
I really liked this book. Did not want to put it down.
Fun to read
Fun read. Clean, good story line, interesting characters. Fun twists.
This mystery takes place in an elderly community. The characters are all a little quirky and the storyline moves along at a good pace. It is not the usual fare. I found it refreshing.
I couldn’t put it down! Love that older women are involved. Looking forward to the next book.
