A whodunit puzzle with wit & heart.
The latest in a top-selling series—that can be read on its own—starts with Simon Cole, a wealthy widower, dropping dead after his 65th birthday bash on the Chautauqua Belle, a local steamboat.
Jeanine Davis, Simon's hot new girlfriend, is widely considered a gold-digger fraud and his killer.
But when Mimi Goldman, "Chautauqua's Miss Marple," takes the case, she finds many more Simon haters lurking among Chautauqua's high-minded talks and charming cottages including: a cash-strapped actor daughter, a jealous professor brother, bitter old girlfriends and business partners and a neighbor who teaches a class about mushrooms.
When another body appears, Mimi's husband pleads with her to retire. Try mah-jongg or chair aerobics, he says. Mimi insists that she and her 90-year-old sidekick, Sylvia Pritchard, have enough left to outwit another ruthless killer.
For fans of Agatha Christie, Richard Osman and “Only Murders in the Building.”
