What is a grouchy old man to do when two attractive women encourage him to leave his assistant-living apartment and join a clandestine chili party? He actually has fun—until someone ends up dead. Now Earl Walker seems to be the only person suspicious of the way the partygoer met his demise. Can he solve the puzzle—and make a little romance—before the home closes and the suspects move away?
Chris Wells does a wonderful job of describing the inner workings of a Retirement Community. His characters are well-developed and easy to fall in love with. Earl reminds me of a man I used to know who lived in a nursing home where I once worked (rough around the edges, but a big teddy bear inside). Jenny reminds me of many well-meaning college girls I know at my church. Together, the two make a humorous duo.
I eagerly look forward to reading more from Chris Wells.
