I loved this book. It is very rare a whodunnit can grip me from the very beginning but this did from the very get go
A refreshingly different mystery. Loved it and I highly recommend it.
Death Comes to Happy Acres is an interesting mellow criminal mystery. The main characters are elderly trailer park dwellers, who are all alone for one or other reason, and so they are each others companions and friends. Wade, the former musician has lived decades in the park, first with his wife and last five years alone. But never really alone, he always has some lady-friends whom he seeing and he never makes secret of them, they all know about each other. Now he has a problem - one of the ladys has asked him to marry her, he agrees, and next morning when he goes to tell his other lady friend to tell her, their special friendship is over, he finds her dead on a floor.
So who is the murderer? Is it Wade, who didn't even know he inherited Peggy's cat, who comes with money for maintenance and her life insurance money also? Could it be Peggy's daughter? Or trailer park manager? Or Wade's other lady friends? Or Peggy's other boyfriend's wives? Why are the ladys suspects at all, a man could also use poison?
It was interesting story and the end result is clever enough that you have now way to figure it out at the beginning.
A good read!!
