A haphazard and silly heist book about a girl gang of septuagenarians who are going to have one last hurrah since their retirement. The blurb gives Golden Girls meets Oceans Eleven. It is vaguely reminiscent of the movie a few years back about 4 old ladies who go to the Super Bowl thinking they can just buy tickets at the box office.
While this was cute, it fell short of its two main objectives- to really develop the characters to the point of being endearing and to sell the whole heist plot. I love this author and her releasing 2025 was one of my very favorite books of the year. This was a fun cozy mystery and I enjoyed the character Frances. She is very spunky and has a great inner dialogue.
Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington for the ARC. Book to be published 6/30/26
