The Alphabet Sleuths - Laura Jensen Walker

nDisposing of a body is as easy as A, B, C! Introducing the Alphabet Girls, four senior gal pals turned accidental sleuths--The Thursday Murder Club meets The Golden Girls, with a splash of Killers of a Certain Age n n At sixty-nine years old, Claire Reynolds is changing things up. She's volunteering.

Learning to rollerblade. She's rescued a shelter dog. And today, she's killed a man.

It wasn't on her to-do list, but stuff happens. n n Besides, the man in question was strangling her good friend Daphne, and what's a gal to do? Scream, possibly.

Call the cops. Or--at retired officer Daphne's insistence--call in the rest of their senior gal pals, roll up the body in a blanket, and toss it off a cliff. n n The dead man is a member of the local crime family, and if the police get involved it's not just Daphne at risk, it's them all.

n n But the body's just the start. Soon the Alphabet Girls--Atsuko, Barbara, Claire, and Daphne--must transform into the Alphabet Sleuths, if they're to keep both their liberty . .

. and their lives. n n Meet Atsuko Kimura (75, retired journalist), Barbara Wright (age redacted, retired actress), Claire Reynolds (69, retired paralegal), and Daphne Cole (62, retired cop) in the first funny, fast-paced Alphabet Girls Mystery from award-winning author Laura Jensen Walker.n
