Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. verbal-humor, situational-humor, senior-residence-facility, senior-sleuths, septuagenarian, Jewish, cozy-mystery, law-enforcement, family-dynamics, murder, murder-investigation***** Rose and Ida live in a Jewish residence for the elderly who no longer choose to care for private residences and are still the same snoopy ladies they were forty years ago. This is the third time that they have gotten involved in a murder investigation and by now the local police detective agrees to their credibility. The victim is the home's manager and while they dislike him, they minimally agree to help investigate on his behalf. Great fun and lots of humor. All of the characters are well drawn and relatable, and the sleuthing is well done and has enough twists and red herrings to keep things going. There are a lot of words used that I've heard all my life but never seen in print, so I'd really appreciate having this fun book in audio. I requested and received a free e-book copy from The Wild Rose Press via NetGalley. Thank you! ![]() ![]() “Oy Vey Maria” by Mark Reutlinger is a delightfully funny cozy mystery. The first thing I loved about this book is that the main characters are senior citizens who just happen to solve crimes – a nice change from most cozy mysteries that feature younger main characters. The second thing I liked is the viewpoint – written in the first person from Ida’s point of view – I felt like I was sitting there next to Ida as she was telling the story. I love the relationship between her and Mrs. K – especially the conversations they have. There is a great deal of humor in the book that is never mean at the expense of the older characters – although I will never look at pickles the same way again! Reutlinger does an excellent job of intermingling the mystery with the day-to-day aspects of Ida and Mrs. K’s lives. And the mystery is well done with plenty of suspects besides Pupik. I thought for sure I knew who the killer was but I was just a little off (I may have some Mrs. K in me!). “Oy Vey Maria” by Mark Reutlinger is a nicely done humorous cozy mystery. ![]() Thanks to the author for a free advanced reader copy of the book in exchange for my honest review. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Rose Kaplan and her sidekick Ida are at it again. It's the holiday of Purim, and almost everyone at the Julius and Rebecca Cohen Home for Jewish Seniors is in costume for the Purim play. All except one, who will instead have to be fitted for a shroud. Once again, "Mrs. K" and Ida are called upon to solve the puzzle of a mysterious death at the Home. Described by Chanticleer Book Reviews as "at times more Lucy and Ethel than Holmes and Watson, with a soupcon of Miss Jane Marple," these geriatric amateur sleuths will keep you laughing, guessing, and maybe even learning a bissel Yiddish!

This was pretty bad. Every other word, or it seemed like it, was a yiddish word that had to be explained. It broke up the flow of the story and I just couldn't get into it. Meh. (
