Acerca de esta escucha
A quirky group of seniors attempts to solve one murder while covering up another—with the help of an enterprising tortoise—in this twisty, darkly funny mystery from the author of Three Bags Full.
It has been an eventful morning for Agnes Sharp and the other inhabitants of Sunset Hall, a house share for the old and unruly in the sleepy English countryside. Although they have had some issues (misplaced reading glasses, conflicting culinary tastes, decreasing mobility, and unruly grandsons), nothing prepares them for an unexpected visit from a police officer with some shocking news. A body has been discovered next door. Everyone puts on a long face for show, but they are secretly relieved the body in question is not the one they’re currently hiding in the shed (sorry, Lillith).
It seems the answer to their little problem with Lillith may have fallen right into their lap. All they have to do is find out who murdered their neighbor, so they can pin Lillith’s death on them, thus killing two (old) birds with one stone (cold killer).
With their plan sorted, Agnes and her geriatric gang spring into action. After all, everybody likes a good mystery. Besides, the more suspicion they can cast about, surely the less will land on them. To investigate, they will step out of their comfort zone, into the not-so-idyllic village of Duck End and tangle with sinister bakers, broken stairlifts, inept criminals, the local authorities, and their own dark secrets.

Historia
Vera Wong is a lonely little old lady—ah, lady of a certain age—who lives above her forgotten tea shop in the middle of San Francisco’s Chinatown. Despite living alone, Vera is not needy, oh no. She likes nothing more than sipping on a good cup of Wulong and doing some healthy detective work on the Internet about what her Gen-Z son is up to. Then one morning, Vera trudges downstairs to find a curious thing—a dead man in the middle of her tea shop.

It’s a hot and sticky Sunday in Lafayette, Louisiana, and Glory has settled into her usual after-church routine, meeting gamblers at the local coffee shop, where she works as a small-time bookie. Sitting at her corner table, Glory hears that her best friend—a nun beloved by the community—has been found dead in her apartment. When the police declare the mysterious death a suicide, Glory is convinced that there must be more to the story and, with her reluctant daughter in tow, launches a shadow investigation in a town of oil tycoons, church gossips, and a rumored voodoo priestess.

Two years ago, a hostile Prime Minister launched the Monochrome inquiry, investigating "historical over-reaching" by the British Secret Service “to investigate historical over-reaching.” Monochrome’s mission was to ferret out any hint of misconduct by any MI5 officer—and allowed Griselda Fleet and Malcolm Kyle, the two civil servants seconded to the project, unfettered access to any and all confidential information in the Service archives in order to do so. But MI5’s formidable First Desk did not become Britain’s top spy by accident, and she has successfully thwarted the inquiry at every turn.

Pity he can't say the same about that nagging lack of direction in his life. If only he were like his best friend Freddie—self-assured, suave, and up to his ears in secrets. But when Freddie is murdered, Rex doubts the verdict. Was Freddie really cut down while up to no good, or was he killed in the line of duty?

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Moira Quirk does an excellent job portraying a variety of senior citizens who are burdened with ailments in this mystery.... Numerous characters pop up in this audiobook, and Quirk gives each a distinctive voice. She is outstanding at pacing and narrating with appropriate emotion, both in dialogue and narrative. The story develops at a leisurely pace.... Quirk's fine narration should keep all engaged. (AudioFIle)

Twenty-six-year-old Beatrice Hyde-Clare is far too shy to investigate the suspicious death of a fellow guest in the Lake District. A spinster who lives on the sufferance of her relatives, she would certainly not presume to search the rooms of her host's son and his friend looking for evidence. Reared in the twin virtues of deference and docility, she would absolutely never think to question the imperious Duke of Kesgrave about anything, let alone how he chose to represent the incident to the local constable. And yet that's exactly what she does.

Historia
Twenty-six-year-old Beatrice Hyde-Clare is far too shy to investigate the suspicious death of a fellow guest in the Lake District. A spinster who lives on the sufferance of her relatives, she would certainly not presume to search the rooms of her host's son and his friend looking for evidence. Reared in the twin virtues of deference and docility, she would absolutely never think to question the imperious Duke of Kesgrave about anything, let alone how he chose to represent the incident to the local constable. And yet that's exactly what she does.

Sunset Hall, Agnes’s childhood home, is home to an array of interesting seniors. There is: Bernadette, a blind former spy; a cognitively declining Marshall; a wheelchair bound Winston; Edwina the yoga enthusiast; Hettie the tortoise; Lillith, a childhood friend, and Agnes, all of whom call Sunset Hall home. Agnes opened her home to other seniors who want to control, as much as possible, their sunset years. Agnes knows the importance of community and social engagement as one advance in age.
The story opens with a visit from a police officer to alert them to the discovery of a dead body in the home across the street. She was shot and left for dead. The group is thrilled in that they were hiding their own dead body, also shot in the head. Swann keeps the reader in the dark as to why the group had a dead body; she reveals who and why in good time. Now the group must solve the murder mystery to pin the blame on that murderer for their own dead body.
What author Swann does, so eloquently, is show the frustrations of aging, the loss of control. Obviously, there are mobility issues, let’s not even begin with the memory issues. There are medication mix-ups (some intentionally). But mostly it’s the knowledge, or the indignity, of not being believed or seen. The fear of being put in an elder facility looms large.
Agnes takes the reader down her memory lane, which allows author Swann to show how frightening it is when one questions the accuracy of their own memory. Swann builds tension in the helplessness feelings that plague Agnes. Balancing out the emotional frustrations are the comedic antics of the housemates.
For example, Marshall brought his grandson Nathan to stay with him at the house. Agnes is miffed, as he needed prior authorization. Well, Agnes decides to befriend Nathan, the enthusiastic computer gamer, and the two get into some amusing escapades, one involves saving the hungry animals. There is an evil twin, a cannabis hijinks, a death pact, and of course the tortoise, Hattie. Swann adds an author’s note explaining the responsibilities of being a tortoise owner. She didn’t want her novel to be misinformative as to the requirements involving the proper care and maintenance of tortoises. Hattie was a whimsical addition to the story, adding much delight. I personally loved her sleep stone. Plus, what better pet for a group of elderly, dare I say, tortoise-like humans?!
I chose to listen to the audio, narrated by Moira Quirk. Her voice range was interesting, yet a few characters sounded too much alike. Nonetheless, it was 12 hours of listening enjoyment. I love elderly sleuths❤️
