A great book by a fantastic author. The writing is excellent and the mystery keeps you turning the pages. Characters are well developed. Highly recommend.

I was laughing out loud at the antics of Leslie and Belinda. This is book 4 in their series and I'm so disappointed that I've never read them before. I'll soon remedy that by getting them purchased soon. The retired teacher and social worker live in an adult community and keep track of their neighbors comings and goings. When a question comes up about a medicare charge they travel to a nearby town that has over a hundred miles of yard sales. The girls drive the local police crazy with their crime solving and the ending of this book bodes well for another fun cozy in book 5. I think being the same age as Leslie and Belinda makes this book all the more fun.

What a hoot! This is the first book in this adorable series that I’ve read and it will not be the last. This sassy senior duo, Leslie and Belinda decide to help one of their neighbors with a Medicare snafu which leads them to Jamestown, TN a few miles from their nice retirement village. This town by the way also holds the annual World’s longest yard sale which is about to start. While they are looking into this problem, they get more than they bargain for by stumbling over a dead body. Belinda who is the voice of reason of this duo thinks they should just let the proper authorities handle this situation and return home. Leslie, not so much since she found the body therefore she is going to find out who killed this person and why. This is where the fun starts, well really the fun begins during the first chapter of the book. Ms. Browning does a bang up job describing this cast of colorful characters, plus the world’s longest yard sale. I could just imagine this yard sale from its tacky RV’s right down to the description of the items that are on display to sale. Not the mention the predicaments that Leslie finds herself in, from being stranded on the Loft that goes no where in her town home to obsessing over one of their neighbor’s multiple Fed-Ex deliveries.
I’m a huge fan of cozy mysteries, especially ones that make me laugh and this one didn’t disappoint. I can’t wait to see what Leslie and Belinda get into next, I just hope to be as spunky as they are when I reach their age.
I would like to thank the publisher and NetGalley for providing me a copy of this e-galley for my honest review.

Retired ladies turn to snooping, or is that sleuthing, for entertainment. Since I am in the same age bracket as the ladies of this book, the appeal is great. I hope I am not as irritating as Leslie. Fun cozy. I no longer have a desire to visit the world's longest yard sale.

A really entertaining murder mystery. I enjoyed the plot and the two main characters who love solving mysteries. I recommend this to readers who enjoy a good mystery with a few laugh thrown in.

This is the first book that I've read by this author and I am so glad I did.
I laughed so hard reading about Leslie, Belinda and Mrs. Towers.
There escapades were hilarious and I would love to spend the day with them.
Due to a Medicare mix up, Leslie and Belinda decide to poke around. Their snooping leads them directly to a dead body, which sends them off to the longest yard sale.
You're sure to tickle your funny bone when you read about all the shenanigans these ladies get into.
I instantly fell in love with the quirky, colorful characters in this incredible book.
This is a sure fire hit for any cozy mystery lovers.

I voluntarily read an ARC of this book provided by the publisher and NetGalley.
