I read this on my Droid X, it is a mystery whose protagonist is an unlikely older woman who refuses to age gracefully. Ivy Malone is a widow who refuses to accept any limitations. She suspects foul play in a friend’s disappearance. She investigates vandalism on her own. She is an unstoppable force when battling injustice while searching her purse for her Medicare card.
This book was a treat. The mystery was suitably complicated to hold your interest but the characterizations were terrific. Ms. McCourtney has captured an indefatigable spirit in Ivy Malone. She drives home a point that you are as young as you are willing to accept. She also drives home a sobering thought that as we age we often become invisible to those around us. Old people are often overlooked and this book points out why that is a mistake. A delightful story with a very strong moral!
I recommend the book.
