The Armchair Detectives
By Matt Dunn
0 - Default Title
Description
Meet Martin Maxwell. As a former government operative, at eighty-four-years young he always pictured a retirement sipping shaken-not-stirred martinis on a far-flung island. But in need of some care after a new hip, he finds himself at Twilight Lodge on the decidedly cloudy English coast.
From the outside, it's a picture-perfect place to recuperate. But when popular resident Elsie dies unexpectedly, Martin suspects foul play. She's the third death in less than two weeks and always had a clean bill of health. Armed with a walking stick and his trusty notebook and pen, Martin decides to investigate.
While nobody believes him - death is an inevitable part of care home life after all - Martin is convinced something sinister is afoot. With his wheelchair-bound sidekick and former nemesis Albie in tow, they begin questioning the residents. Soon they learn that there are several suspects in the frame.
When they discover Albie's love interest Barbara is in the killer's sights, Martin knows time is running out. Will Albie's heart be broken forever, or can they battle the effects of old age and each other, outwitting a murderer before it's too late?
An absolutely hilarious and heartwarming cozy mystery perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Robert Thorogood, Jesse Q. Sutanto and Only Murders in the Building.
