Bingoed (Essie Cobb Senior Sleuth Mysteries Book 1) by Patricia Rockwell (Cozy Cat Press) (88 Reviews)    Price verified 14 minutes ago

Why would spry senior Bob Weiderley suddenly fall into a coma after winning a game of Bingo? After all, he was the most physically fit of all the men at the Happy Haven Assisted Living Facility -- able to bend over to tie his own shoes and use the stairs rather than the elevator. It was just very suspicious. That's why Essie Cobb and her friends and fellow residents--Opal, Marjorie, and Fay--decided to investigate. Was it possible that someone was out to get the friendly old gentleman? Maybe it was Violet, Happy Haven's manager, trying to cover up her shady past. Or Sue, the activities director, whose behavior was strange to say the least. Maybe it was one of the three women who sat at Bob's regular table in the dining room. Or the mysterious man who had recently sent Bob a startling letter. Essie Cobb is determined to find out -- and she's not going to let her age (90), her weak bladder, or her various infirmities hold her back. Welcome to Happy Haven. If you thought most elderly residents of assisted living facilities spent their days sitting in the sun watching television, you haven't met senior sleuth Essie Cobb and her three detecting buddies. These four elderly ladies have curiosity and drive unusual for women in their 80's and 90's. They may not be able to get around as fast as youngsters in their 60's, or navigate the Interstate or Interweb (or whatever that computer thing is called), but they can solve a mystery. And they're starting with this one.

Six Mile Creek by Richard Helms (Back Alley Books) (15 Reviews)    Price verified 8 hours ago

A riveting new rural thriller from three-time Shamus Award nominee and two-time Derringer Award winner Richard Helms! Prosperity, North Carolina, used to be a red clay farming community populated mostly by the descendents of families that had settled the land over two centuries earlier. Then, developers from a huge city in the next county discovered its rolling hills and winding streams, and decided to turn it into a suburb. Former Atlanta cop and hometown high school football hero Judd Wheeler returned to Prosperity eight years ago to take a position as the Chief of the new Police Department. With one tragic exception, it's been a quiet, uneventful job. Now, the body of a young illegal immigrant Mexican girl has been found alongside the banks of Six Mile Creek. For the first time since his return to Prosperity, Wheeler finds himself with a murder on his hands. His investigation will place him in direct opposition with his closest childhood friend, ratchet up racial and class tensions in a community already stretched to the limit, and nearly tear his quiet little town to pieces as he searches for the murderer of Gypsy Camareno. At the same time, coincidences he can't ignore will stoke Chief Wheeler's own nightmares of terrible events years earlier, and interfere with his ability to see the case clearly.
