Description
It’s not easy sharing a flat. Especially when you’re 95 years old . . .
Escape from Sunset Grove is the second hilarious and heartwarming crime caper in Minna Lindgren's Lavender Ladies Detective Agency trilogy. Perfect for fans of Richard Osman’s The Thursday Murder Club and M.C. Beaton
Change is afoot at Sunset Grove retirement home, and its residents aren’t impressed.
Under threat from falling masonry, best friends Irma and Siiri are forced out of their home to negotiate twenty-first-century living in the centre of Helsinki. Their new surroundings throw up an endless number of daily challenges, from caring for the ailing Anna-Lisa to the mystery of which of the many remotes controls the TV.
The pair are joined by growing numbers of friends in their flat-share, and their new close-quarters living raises some unexpected questions. As the Lavender Ladies begin to dig a little deeper, they find themselves following a trail of corruption, deceit and intimidation that might just lead them to their own front door . . .
The Lavender Ladies must steel themselves for what is set to be their most dangerous case yet.
Filled with wit and warmth, continue the cosy crime series with The End of Sunset Grove.

I liked this gentle, meandering, sometimes funny, sometimes sad story of a group of people in their 90s who are driven out of their corrupt assisted living facility and forced to care for themselves in "commune" which might once have been an upscale brothel. Though the story is billed as a cosy mystery, it seemed to me to be more of an exploration of how to keep growing and loving, no matter how old you are. I liked the author's light, gently humorous way of exploring sometimes sad and dark events and recommend this for fans of No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency and A Man Called Ove.
I received this book from netgalley in exchange for a fair review.
