Death for Dessert
T. Dawn Richards
3 out of 5
I kept finding myself wanting to add plot lines and twists that the author didn’t.
After a life time of marriage, May List flees a philandering doctor-husband and ends up in an "active senior living" complex. Not only has her life ended up this way but she encounters a bizarre group of elderly residents that aren’t exactly as they appear. After a bizarre encounter with the erratic Mrs. Berkowitz, May is warned to stay as far away from this woman as possible, but May’s curiosity gets the best of her when Mrs. Berkowitz just happens to know the secret details of May’s life.
May starts putting the pieces together and finally see this woman as the blackmailer that she really is, the only problem is that it’s a little too late when Mrs. Berkowitz is found dead and the plate of brownies that May had found next to her door is now empty on Mrs. Berkowitz’s counter.
It’s up to the “Active Seniors” to solve the crime and get their secrets back.
Parts of this book are very funny, but with the slow pace and pat ending, this book just didn’t work for me.
