From the back of the book: "When Birdy Benton turns up dead under the Camden-sur-Mer Christmas tree, members of the posh California retirement community are shocked by this unexpected holiday event. Despite their sadness, resident sleuths Angela and Caledonia see it as a golden opportunity to help their old friend Lieutenant Martinez investigate.

How could poor Birdy have been murdered in plain view of the lobby receptionist? Did someone really steal her jewelry? Is the dead woman's pompous nephew as well-off as he appears? Fortified with Camden's superb cuisine and many sips of sherry, the doughty ladies forge fearlessly ahead, throwing themselves into dire peril to learn the strange truth of Birdy's sad demise. And an ever stranger final twist makes it quite a Christmas..."

Sixth in the series. Despite the somewhat cringe-worthy title, this was a good read with likeable characters.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Adding to Trekwoman and Sweet Pickle's "Feels Like Winter" bookbox.

This jumped out of Trekwoman's Feels Like Winter Box.

I liked it so well that I want to find the other books in the series.
Thanks!

The restored 30 Books in 30 Days box by trekwoman stoped by for a visit.
This book was tired of the company on my shelf and wanted to travel.

I have family members who just recently moved back to our area (and into a retirement home). Maybe they'd enjoy reading this when I am finished with it. Thanks!

I know my Mom really would've appreciated this book. At one time she and Dad were set to move into an assisted living home, somewhat like the one depicted in this novel. However, since I like with a crotchety old guy (Hi, Dad!), reading this book is not as fun for me, despite the fact that it is well written.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Donation to library/charity.

This book did not make it into the donation stack and instead took a big ride on a moving van to California. It will be wild released somewhere in the area.

Book was released on a metal table outside the restaurant.
