"I'm not used to these type of cozy crime adventures and only picked this
book up because it was free for a little while. I'm glad I did. It's
hilarious and Granny is such an outrageous character that she dominated
every scene she was in. I especially liked the references to the classic
movie, Where Eagles Dare, in the scene where Granny and her pensioner
vigilantes are involved in a surveillance operation." Amazon review
“It’s Miss Marple on steroids.”
A brutal murder in a small Welsh
village and the police are stuck without a clue. With no motive and no
real suspect the investigation soon grinds to a halt. Enter Mary Alice
Smith, otherwise known as Granny Smith, the rock music loving, pipe
smoking, chaos causing amateur sleuth with a difference.
Granny
has a talent for mayhem and soon those talents are put to good use as
our intrepid pensioner starts the unravel the case, which finds her
provoking Chief Inspector Miskin as she comes up against a full scale
police investigation, proving that you’re never too old to make a
nuisance of yourself and that sixty three is actually the new twenty
three.
Murder's never been so much fun.
