I enjoy that Myrtle, the protagonist, is a woman in her 80's. A lot of cozy mysteries feel the need to throw in a love interest, and I like that Myrtle is not out there looking for love, or dating a local detective. In this story, her son is the Chief of Police, so that takes care of the police connection. I like her relationship with her son, Red, and his wife, Elaine. I like that she is not super physically fit, and struggles getting up the stairs.
My only complaint was that the pacing was a little slow in the middle. But otherwise, this book was exactly what I expected, a nice solid cozy mystery. ( )
