Great characters who unpick a clever mystery in an interesting setting. The writing seemed a bit uneven in pace and in terms of how and when things were disclosed to the reader but it is a strong cozy mystery.

I want to thank Netgalley and the author for gifting me the ebook. The book is a very fast easy read. I just felt like the book was not complete. It felt like someone's diary and was just written oddly. The plot itself was good. It just felt rushed but with it being a short story (read it in just a few hours) that is typical for a short story.

As a senior myself, I am delighted that Ms. Rosen is giving her gifts to the written page and the lucky reader! She is a gifted writer and a advocate for Elder Abuse and Neglect. I enjoyed Dead in THAT Beach House and found it to be a page turner. This Senior Sleuths Mystery begins with a bang and continues to the end keeping the reader entertained all the way. The characters were very well developed and believable. I am surely going to read another of this series very soon. Thank you to NetGalley, Level Best Books and Ms. Rosen for the opportunity to review this advanced copy.

This is book 3 in the Senior Sleuths mystery series. It can be read as a stand alone. I enjoyed this book because Dick and Dora are close to my age and I can relate and laugh at their lifestyle. Their friends are funny and available to help in their investigations. This story is set in the Hampton's and a cottage with 3 bodies discovered by partying teen trespassers,. I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Senior sleuths with dubious backgrounds set out to solve mysterious deaths. Story jumped around a bit and seemed a bit short.

I was attracted to this book because the sleuths were seniors. But, I found the book to be really tedious. The writing style see,s focused on "I know a secret and you don't" attitude, giving little hints as to what's going to happen, but not really spelling it out. While some might think that adds to the mystery/plot, in this case, it was obvious what was going to happen, so why be so secretive. In fact, it was pretty hard to stay interested in the story line, because we already knew the culprits. The characters were very predictable and had little dimension. Also, in some cases, there were sentences with so many personal pronouns (e.g., he did this to him), it was difficult to determine the subject or the object of the sentence. I would not recommend

The story had potential but seemed to jump around with no reason. The story needs smoothing out to flow more smoothly. I liked Dora and Dick. The old properties were pretty cool too. The rest of the story I could take or leave. Not impressed with this one.

This is a cozy mystery, and this is the third book in A Senior Sleuths Mystery series. I really enjoyed the characters in this book, and the mystery was fun. I feel that because it was so short I just did not get to fell totally in love with the characters, and the mystery could have been better if the book was longer. I think I read this whole book in one hoour. It was good but it was not great. If you are looking for a cute and fast read then this is the book for you. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher or author (M. Glenda Rosen) via NetGalley/booksirens in exchange for an honest review about how I feel about this book, and I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.

The storyline is impressive but I did not like the character portrayal. While the elderly sleuths decide to solve a murder case, their driver makes a plan of his own - to save/help the sleuths when the time is right. I couldn't connect with the characters or the story.

Even if it features a long list of tropes I liked in a mystery the story didn't keep my attention and fell flat.
Not my cup of tea.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

This is my first Senior Sleuth Mystery. This story begins when Dora and Dick's son Jake and his girlfriend Lily ask for their help after Lily's Aunt and Uncle are found shot. They had just inherited That Beach House. As their only surviving relative That Beach House becomes Lily's and her life is suddenly in danger. Lily's family have lots of shady secrets and a group are so desperate to own That Beach House they won't stop until it is theirs. Dora and Dick have to enlist help from their friends to save the day.

I tried a number of times to get into this story but just couldn't. The dialog was stilted and I really didn't embrace the characters.

Posted on Goodreads. This was a short, fast read, more like a short story or novella. This take on Nick & Nora from The Thin Man series was cute, but there were a few problems. At the end of each very short chapter the author felt the need for asides that hinted at what would happen next. That might have been fun and interesting a couple of times, but at the end of each chapter it was overkill. In many was this was a barely fleshed out outline. The characters were sketches and the plot, action and general narrative were pretty bare bones. While I like the concept and the author’s rationale for writing, I do think a writing group and a bit more writing would benefit both author and reader.
The very real concern in the story was about elder abuse, which is reprehensible. In many cultures older people are revered for their life experiences and wisdom, but it seems in the U.S. that we love the concept of a youth culture, even if it doesn’t really exist. My definition of old has become a moving target as I get older; it’s amusing to listen to my 83 year old father complain about all of the old people in his lifelong learning society classes. I hope that older people start standing up for themselves and that the remaining Baby Boomers might actually change something for the better.

Overall I liked the story but some parts were told as if by a narrator rather than experienced by the characters and I’m not a fan of that style. I also felt that the author got preachy on the subject of elder abuse. I do realize that it’s a serious issue that the author wanted to discuss but I felt that it took over the story.

Wow, I had a great time reading this book!
I immediately loved Dick & Dora, along with Frankie and Zero.
This is a fast paced, fun cozy mystery. It has everything I look for in a good, solid cozy mystery book. Great characters, fun, exciting mystery, and a perfect reveal! I had NO idea who was behind the murders, I was completely gobsmacked.
This is the first book I’ve read by this author, but it certainly won’t be the last.
If you haven’t read this series, you’re definitely missing out on a great reading experience.
