The supersleuths are back in a delightful but unlikely tale, but still, it could happen! As well as an investigation and gaining vengeance on those who wrong them, they also face everyday ordeals that are typical for pensioners.

In this plotline, the characters are further developed and we learn a tiny bit more about each one, though not as much as we’d like as a backstory. It’s still a good read as they gossip and socialise within their community, although this story is a bot more close-knit, but I suppose it has to be when there’s sleuthing involved and connections have to be established and taken advantaged of.
