This was a very enjoyable story. I like the set-up with the game of Mah Jongg, a retirement home and a secret that someone didn’t want exposed. This was smoothly paced with enough action to keep me delving into all aspects of this intriguing mystery that I could not put down until I knew who the killer was. The author did a great job of pulling it all together where every character had a role and I liked how it all meshed together with a suspect at every corner but with some surprising twist and turns, the author knocked it out of the park when the killer’s identity was revealed. Good Job! I love that the sleuthing was made easy with the cooperation of the police and the residents of Sunshine Village whose collaboration bought a killer to justice and created a family who will always be there. With a lovable cast of characters, good dialogue and a feel good atmosphere, this was a terrific read and I hope there are more stories with Carrie and her friends.
