Carol Novis

Knock Off the Old Block Carol Novis

"This cast of senior sleuths made me laugh out loud."The High Holidays are approaching. So is murder. At the upscale Menorah Retirement Home, residents are expiring under peculiar circumstances. Accidental? Not to Ellie Shapiro and her octogenarian pal Riva, who are convinced that a killer is on the loose. As they delve into the mystery of why anyone should want to murder Myra, an inoffensive widow, or cantankerous Marty, the senior sleuths navigate a zany talent show, an exhibition of memorabilia and dangerous encounters with a shadowy killer. If she's not careful, Ellie might be next. Meet a gallery of quirky senior citizens who prove that older is sometimes wiser, and it's never too late to grow and change. If you enjoy a rollicking romp, warm humor, dogs, baking and cozy mysteries, this is the book for you.
