This book is about a group of seniors in a Seniors Home who as a hobby practice trying to solve previously unsolved crimes. One of the group is a former police officer who kept copies of some case files. Other members of the group include a psychiatrist.
The group is merrily pursuing their various activities at the home but are intrigued when an actual murder occurs, the developer who built their seniors complex, and has expansion plans, is murdered, as is theman who was his second in command.
The group had made contact with a police officer previously. She had come to give them a presentation as a public service. The group wants to be involved in solving the crime. As they are not police officers they do not have to do everything by the book. They manage to get their friend the police officer assigned to the team working the murder cases.
In several ways the group seems to be ahead of the police, but they also try to find out what the police know that they don't know. They manage to find one of the people the police feel may be responsible before the police do. Eventually they share their info with the police and the cases are solved.
The characters in this book are all characters, many of the people in the home have "back stories" which add to the colour of the story.
It was an entertaining read. I am looking forward to the next book in the series which is being released next month.
