Flo and Maude Christmas Capers by Sarah Osborne are mini standalone holiday mysteries to be consumed in any order you like and whenever you need a laugh or an escape from the crush of the real world, coming October 15, 2020.
The Old Dames Protection Agency solves murders before they happen. Curmudgeon Flo and gentle Maude, octogenarians and founding members of the organization, are on the road from Boston to LA, Atlanta to Cape Cod, ready to save the innocent (and not so innocent) from harm. Their side-kick, young Kate, does the heavy lifting and carries a gun.
It all starts when Flo rescues Maude from the clutches of would-be murderers and jewel thieves hanging out at one of Boston’s finest hotels in “Malice at the Palace.”
Flo and Maude deliver a cranky Cape Cod resident from harm in “A Curmudgeon’s Last Christmas.”
It’s on to “California Dreamin’” for an LA author whose death is foretold in the mysteries she writes.
Flo must prevent the murder of her father’s best friend in “Mrs. Claus and the Littlest Reindeer.”
And finally, if you’ve been missing Ditie and the kids (from the Ditie Brown Mysteries Series published by Kensington), here they are once more. Ditie needs the help of Flo and Maude in “Old Friends and Older Crimes” to prevent murder in an old folks home.
Dru’s Musing:
These two feisty seniors kept me engaged in their foray into solving crimes from various location in the states. Flo, Maude, and Kate work great as a team and I enjoyed their camaraderie and their insights that helped them in their tasks. The author did a great job of providing enticingly entertaining stories filled with a stocking of suspense that was delightfully enjoyable. Overall, this was a terrific read that will lift your soul.
