Description
The Crime Novel that will have you cheering for the underdogs, who surprise the world with a few new tricks.
In 1991, the quiet Florida retirement community of Cicada Hollow was the perfect place for seniors to relax and enjoy their golden years. It was also the place where four retired women joined together out of necessity, to become the biggest crime syndicate in American history.
Love, sex, dreams, revenge and regrets have no age limit. Friendship and loyalty get stronger with time and these four bad-ass broads are about to draw a line in the Florida sand that no one will ever cross.
The Godfather meets the Golden Girls in this love, laugh and revenge filled drama.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this eARC.
A delightful romp of a crime story about a few senior citizens who live in a 55 years+ community, who have as much energy and passion as their younger counterparts (and a whole lot more imagination when it comes to making money).
Perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series, this was a very entertaining and well-written engaging read.
Princess Fuzzypants here: The blurb for this book made me think it was going to be a wicked satire but while it did not match my humour expectation, it more than that in creating quirky characters for whom the reader can root. What makes that even more amazing is the two protagonists, sisters who have lived outside the law for most of their lives, are compelling creations.. One sister is a porn legend and the other, unbeknownst to her sister, has a pretty shady and violent history. They both head to the trailer Bernie owns in Florida. The idea is they can live quietly, incognito, so their past can stay in the past.
The fates have other plans. Money that Bernie had planned to fund her retirement has been confiscated. Ruby, in spite of her age, still has whatever it was that made her a star. She is never one to live out of the spotlight. Between them, they find ways to use the skills they had honed while young to find the means to flourish. It does not go according to Hoyle and there are some very serious repercussions both for the sisters and those in their orbit.
In fact, as the book ends, there is some major senior girl power going on and I suspect future adventures for the Grand Mafia. I was disappointed that it was left in such a cliffhanger. It means I am going to have to wait to find out what happens next. Five purrs and two paws up.
*Thank you to NetGalley and Book Whisperer for providing this book, with my honest review below*
This was a fun read with characters I can only wish to encounter in real life and a plot that delivers for the characters.
Bernie and Ruby have traits I can only wish for when I reach their age! They run into some stumbling blocks but are nothing if not resilient and they drive this plot forward like none other. Excited to learn this is a series because I need to see what happens next!
Thank you again for the ARC, Book Whisperer. It is much appreciated and I enjoyed the read and the opportunity to share my feedback.
