Description
Disposing of a body is as easy as A, B, C! Introducing the Alphabet Girls, four senior gal pals turned accidental sleuths--The Thursday Murder Club meets The Golden Girls, with a splash of Killers of a Certain Age
At sixty-nine years old, Claire Reynolds is changing things up. She's volunteering. Learning to rollerblade. She's rescued a shelter dog. And today, she's killed a man. It wasn't on her to-do list, but stuff happens. Besides, the man in question was strangling her good friend Daphne, and what's a gal to do? Scream, possibly. Call the cops. Or--at retired officer Daphne's insistence--call in the rest of their senior gal pals, roll up the body in a blanket, and toss it off a cliff. The dead man is a member of the local crime family, and if the police get involved it's not just Daphne at risk, it's them all. But the body's just the start. Soon the Alphabet Girls--Atsuko, Barbara, Claire, and Daphne--must transform into the Alphabet Sleuths, if they're to keep both their liberty . . . and their lives. Meet Atsuko Kimura (75, retired journalist), Barbara Wright (age redacted, retired actress), Claire Reynolds (69, retired paralegal), and Daphne Cole (62, retired cop) in the first funny, fast-paced Alphabet Girls Mystery from award-winning author Laura Jensen Walker.More details
