Based on thirty years of reading mysteries, retired librarian Gladdy Gold believes a serial killer is murdering the residents of her Lauderdale Lakes retirement community. The cops assume that the increase in deaths is caused by the age of the residents, seventy and older for the most part.
However, she does nothing about this until her best friend Francie dies in a fitting manner for her: death by chocolate. Unable to accept that the healthy Francie just keeled over due to age, Gladdy and her four remaining gladiators begin investigating, though their joints hurt and they must be in bed by 9:00pm. As they get closer to the truth that a serial killer is cleverly murdering the residents, Gladdy concocts a plan to catch this murdering putz (universal usage), although the gladiators keep thinking oy! vey!
GETTING OLD FOR MURDER is a terrific cozy, filled with elderly Yiddish chick lit humor. The storyline is mostly told by Gladdy, but contains a host of other individuals, and of course Gladdy's GAS (geriatric amateur sleuths) gang. Fans of South Florida who-done-its, starring septuagenarian and octogenarian retirees trying to keep their medicines straight, will enjoy Rita Lakin's amusing tale.
