Book Description
Cantankerous spinster Ivy Beasley has quickly learned that spending her golden years in the quaint village of Barrington won't be as quiet as she thought. Ivy hasn't been in assisted living at Springfields for long, but she's already found new friends, formed a detective agency, and solved a murder. And as autumn falls, Ivy and her team are asked to investigate a mysterious death in the village of Measby-in between card games, of course.
My Review
Ivy Beasley is a clever elderly woman who is living in a retirement home in England. In this second book in the series, Ivy is involved in a detective agency with fellow "inmate" Roy, cousin Deirdre, and possible former spy Gus. A new resident at the Springfields assisted living facility, Mrs. Alwen Wilson Jones seems to have a mysterious past...a connection to Jones Brewing Company...and a murder in nearby Measby.
As readers of Ann Purser's other series starring Lois Meade know, Ann is an amazing story teller. She brings the English countryside to life. And I love that our heroine is elderly. And that our elderly heroine has found love!
Great English cozy mystery.
