Bought this at a library sale for 25 cents, and it is in great condition! Usually the hardbacks are pretty battered. Not going to read this as mysteries are not my thing, but the plot and characters sound like fun.

Miss Marple never had it so good. Caldonia Wingate and Angela Benbow live in a lovely retirement community near San Diego where the temperature always hovers around 70 degrees. But the crafts class can get a bit boring, so some of the residents decide to take up Spanish and are soon off on a jaunt to Tijuana. The trip ends badly for one of the troop, who dies during a carnival ride. Then, during another excursion, the bus driver dies on the road to Ensenada, leaving Caldonia and Angela smack in the middle of their seventh mystery. Readers of all ages should find this caper a delight. Sawyer provides it all: clever, uncliched sleuths, a well-described setting (Sawyer could have a career as a travel writer), and an engagingly plotted mystery that doesn't distract from the rest of the book's charms. Long live Caldonia and Angela!

Received from BCer Zmrzlina. To be read and released. Thanks so much!
