"Sawyer's sly sense of humor and her feisty senior citizens will delight fans of the not-so-violent mystery novel." - Publishers Weekly. The dead man was a mere fifty – too young to have much in common with the well-heeled oldsters at the beautiful Camden-sur-Mer retirement community in southern California. His death looks like an accident, but when those ever-alert, seventy-something admirals' widows Angela Benbow and Caledonia Wingate discover that he was courting one of their neighbors, they stumble into a nice murder investigation. A second murder confirms their suspicions that a dangerous killer is on the loose. Between Angela's shameless curiosity and Caledonia's blitzkrieg, a mere murderer hasn't a chance. Unless, that is, he can eliminate them.
