I love this gang of elderly sleuths, and I hope this was not their last caper. I adore books with older characters, and these are fully drawn with real-life tragedies. This book was hilarious and heartbreaking. A line regarding the title: Waiting for the last devil to die? What a joke. New devils will always spring up, like daffodils in springtime.

Another book with elderly sleuths, this one Edwin, half of a private detective agency with a case involving the deaths of too many writers. A fun story, enough twists and turns to confuse, but really just a joy to read about these characters. There are several in this series, but each can be read as a standalone.
Words turn deadly with an unlikely detective duo on the case of a murdered obituary writer in this literary mystery from the internationally bestselling author of the Ruth Galloway series. Perfect for fans of Richard Osman and the Thursday Murder Club.
Natalka and Edwin are perfect if improbable partners in a detective agency. At eighty-four, Edwin regularly claims that he’s the oldest detective in England. He is a master at surveillance, deploying his age as a cloak of invisibility. Natalka, Ukrainian-born and more than fifty years his junior, is a math whizz, who takes any cases concerning fraud or deception.…
I love everything Liane Moriarty writes. This one was wonderful. A wife's marriage is destroyed by her best friend, a woman's family is destroyed by a husband's secret, a mother's life is destroyed by her daughter's death. Ethical questions abound, and you feel yourself trapped in decisions you might have made yourself. Fully fleshed, believable characters, each dealing with angst and moral dilemmas. I couldn't fathom how the book would end, and the ending was perfect. An epilogue gives an even more satisfying conclusion. Great book.

Book 1 in this award-winning, endearing cozy murder mystery series. Young, overworked medical intern Sarah James has no time for sleuthing. Her elderly neighbors, the spunky Fog Ladies, have nothing but time. When old ladies start to die in their elegant apartment building in San Francisco, Sarah assumes it is the natural consequence of growing old. The Fog Ladies assume murder.
Mrs. Bridge falls off a stool cleaning bugs out of her kitchen light. Mrs. Talwin slips on bubbles in the bath and drowns. The Pacific Heights building is turning over tenants faster than the fog rolls in on a cool San Francisco evening.
Sarah resists the Fog Ladies’ perseverations. But when one of them falls down the stairs and tells Sarah she was pushed, even Sarah believes evil lurks in their building. Can they find the killer before the killer finds them?
