Barbour Publishing has published this book in trade paperback and it's currently available. I got my review ebook from Net Galley (thank you both). The subtitle on this book is: Hometown Mysteries.
When Earl meets other neighbors in his assisted living home and gets invited to a secret chili party, he sure didn't expect somebody to keel over at the party! What's more, he's not sure it happened from natural causes.
The author does a good job of showing how an older person feels when they are all alone (spouse is deceased) and disabled. The church volunteer works hard on getting Earl to socialize, but he's been alone for so long he has trouble at it.
The plot is mix and match with lots of suspects, hidden activities, and a romantic interest for Earl. The clues are there, but will he ever put them together in the correct way?
The story is realistic, well paced, and entertaining. It does have a Christian flavor, but that's not overwhelming. It was a good read and I enjoyed this book.
Check it out at your local bookstore and pick up a copy. You won't regret it.
Happy reading!
