"An Agatha Christie for the text-message age," IndieReader calls the series.
When Simon Cole, a lonely widower, takes up with Jeanine Davis — a younger woman who claims she knew him from childhood Chautauqua summers — Simon's family is dubious.
They enlist Mimi Goldman, "Chautauqua's Miss Marple," to prove Jeanine's a gold-digging fraud. But when Simon turns up dead after his 65th birthday bash on a local steamboat, Mimi has a new mission: finding his killer among Chautauqua’s high-minded talks and charming cottages.
Jeanine, of course, is everyone’s top suspect. Mimi’s list, though, is lengthy including: Simon’s actor daughter; the daughter's sketchy boyfriend; Simon's professor brother; an old friend with a grudge; and a neighbor who teaches a class about mushrooms.
When another body appears, Mimi’s husband begs her and Sylvia Pritchard, her 90-year-old sidekick, to retire. Try mah-jongg, he says. Try bridge. Try chair aerobics. Mimi, too stubborn to quit, hopes she and Sylvia really do have enough left to outwit a ruthless killer.
Fans of Agatha Christie, Louise Penny, Elly Griffiths, Richard Osman and “Only Murders in the Building” will enjoy the latest twist-filled mystery in this popular series.
