Great read! This book was a cozy mystery with some grit to it!! It had suspense, intrigue, action, murder, mystery, a great who done it and some crazy twists and turns! The storyline was very interesting and kept me glued to my Kindle! I definitely recommend this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

You don't usually expect sinister goings-on at a retirement village, but that's exactly what Violet Brewster has stumbled across in the course of her Memory Box business.

Extremely surprised to find that resident Phyllis has left her a beautiful jewellery box in her will, Violet discovers that Phyllis has become paranoid that someone was trying to kill her.

And when her best friend Maureen is pushed off her balcony, it looks as though Phyllis was right.

Can Violet find out what's been going on before anyone else gets hurt?

Another excellent adventure

Thank you netgalley for the advance copy. This was a fun third installment in the Violet Brewster cozy mystery series. We get to know Violet's young adult daughter a little more this time around, and Violet of course gets totally caught up into a relatively ridiculous murder mystery involving septuagenarians at the local retirement home. I sped through this on a couple short flights and it was perfect for that.
