An irresistible new sleuth has been born- 75-year-old Gladdy Gold, Florida's self-proclaimed oldest living private eye, who combines the sleuthing acumen of Miss Marple with the sass and charm of Miss Julia in screenwriter-turned-novelist Rita Lakin's delightful second mystery.
""NEVER TRUST ANYONE UNDER SEVENTY-FIVE!""
That's the motto of the Gladdy Gold Detective Agency. Don't laugh- having solved a case of serial murder, Gladdy and her eccentric neighbors are building their reputation between canasta games and pool exercises-hunting down everything from lost pocketbooks to missing octogenarians. And when a jealous woman sets them after her wayward husband, and a flasher strikes their retirement complex, two seemingly unrelated cases collide with a third- a series of dastardly murders targeting Florida's wealthiest wives.
But when the girls win tickets for a luxury bingo cruise, they hit the jackpot. Because this ship is carrying not only Florida's fiercest bingo competitors but also a killer-and it's up to Gladdy and her friends to stop him before one of them becomes his next victim....
