Mrs. Plansky Goes Rogue by Spencer Quinn is the second in the series and follows Mrs. Plansky, after she and her tennis partner Kev Denardo win the senior tennis championship. Later, celebrating at Kev's house they watch as his yacht blows up and sinks. While Mrs. Plansky tries to figure out where her son Jack and Kev have each disappeared to, she also does a little free diving where the yacht sank, breaks into Kev's house and lots of other shenanigans. With good characters and lots of humor this is a great read.

I enjoyed Mrs Plansky Goes Rogue more than the first title in the series. Not sure if some of the lengthy drifts off topic are intentional to create the characters or a need for better editing but sometimes it is a bit off-putting.

Mrs. Plansky is my new favorite literary heroine. I'd follow her anywhere — even if it was just shopping or out to lunch or a game of tennis. But fortunately she tends to get herself involved in much more—interesting—situations. I love everything about this book: the quirky characters, the humor, the insights into (and empathy for) getting older, all while being thoroughly engrossed in a plot that kept me turning pages when I should have been asleep. More please, and keep 'em coming!

Spencer Quinn (really bestselling author Peter Abrahams) writes wonderful mysteries with fascinating main characters. His Chet and Bernie mystery series won my heart first. Chet the dog is the narrator of that mystery-solving duo. His newest mystery series stars the plucky Mrs. Plansky, another engaging main character. This is book number 2, so read this and then go back and read the first Mrs. Plansky. Good luck solving the mysteries in both books before Mrs. Plansky does.
