Death Pays a Visit

A Myrtle Clover Mystery, Volume 7

De: Elizabeth Spann Craig

Narrado por: Linda Kimbrough

When psychic (and hubcap retailer) Wanda Alewine pays a late-night visit to Myrtle Clover, she urges the octogenarian sleuth to head straight to Greener Pastures Retirement Home. But Wanda doesn't want Myrtle to consider the Home's dubious amenities - she wants Myrtle to prevent a murder seen in a vision. Reluctant Myrtle investigates with sidekick Miles, who seems a lot more interested in Greener Pastures than she is. As the duo digs, they uncover more than just Sudoku and Scrabble - they discover a sinister undercurrent...with murder as its outcome.

Justice Must Be Meted Out

Myrtle Clover has made it no secret that she disdains the Greener Pastures Retirement Home. So the last thing she expects is to willingly walk through their doors. But when Wanda, a trusted friend with the Sight, comes to her and reports that a murder will soon happen at the Home, she finally has some interest in the home.

But when she visits, she discovers a tight-lipped community that doesn’t give up their secrets lightly. Wanda has given details, but they are vague, and Myrtle is unable to prevent the murder. But then she finally gets into her territory of amateur sleuth, and she begins to dig deeper. What she discovers is a web of deceit and secrets that is stickier than she could ever imagine. And with a friend in danger, Myrtle must hurry before another body turns up. But can she survive this clever killer? Or is her time finally up?

At the moment, this is my second favorite Myrtle Clover book. The characters are great, we get more of Myrtle’s history, and there is a surprising twist that left me shocked. This is one of the best books in the series so far, and it was so much fun to heave a change in setting. I don’t think Myrtle is going to live at Greener Pastures anytime soon, but she’ll certainly solve any mystery she can.

If you love Myrtle Clover, this is a great book for you. She’s full of her usual sass, and this time she’s around more of her peers than usual. So there’s plenty of fun dialogue to laugh through, and the setting is unique in the series, with most of the sleuthing taking place in one general area. This is a fun book, and I think you could enjoy this without having read any of the others (though it’s better if you have). This is a fun detective story with a shocking killer. One of my favorites.
