Even if it's not the best installment it this series I found it enjoyable and entertaining.
I love the cast of characters and I find them quirky and funny.
The mystery was solid and it kept me guessing.
I look forward to reading the next instalment.
Recommended.
Many thanks to Severn House and Netgalley for this ARC

I was so thrilled at this series being continued last year! With that being said, this was not one of my favorite books in this series. While I still love Goldy and the girls this one was just a little different for me.
This is just a personal opinion. The writing was impeccable as it always has been.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book provided by NetGalley.

Thanks to Severn House and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advance copy of Getting Old Will Haunt You by Rita Lakin. I have read every book in the Gladdy Gold series and have enjoyed them all. While this one wasn't my favorite, I did especially enjoy getting to know some of the minor characters more in this book, such as Ida, Hy, and Lois. As always, Gladdy and the girls are involved in a fun mystery to solve. Looking forward to seeing what sort of hi jinx they get caught up in next.

Gladdy Gold and friends have a couple. if themes in the book. The men leave the girls alone as they head to Africa on a Safari. Gladdy is offered a job in Key West and Gladdy and Evie and a couple of others drive down to the job. I can is I'll and remains back at the retirement home. So there are a couple of themes in the book. Gladly and the girls find a ghost adding a paranormal theme. They learned information on Hemingway on the trip meanwhile, Hy goes missing and his wife hired Ida to find him.
What do Ida and her group find in Key West? Is Ida successful in her quest?
I had trouble reading this book as the characters did not bound with me. The arguing between the girls bother me and one of the characters in Ida's portion gave the impression that the abuse of women was okay. I had trouble deciding on a rating with this book. I recommend this book.

Disclosure: Thanks to Severn House for a copy through NetGalley. The opinions expressed why own.

I used to look forward to reading this series.
I loved the characters and their mystery solving antics.
However, this series has gone downhill and just doesn’t measure up to its past enjoyment.
I cannot recommend this book.
I do not post negative reviews publicly so I will not be sharing this.

I didn't care for this as much as some one past. The main storyline didn't interest me at all and the friends argued too much. I did enjoy the secondary plotline with Ida, Hy, julio, etc. Much more fun and enjoyable conclusion
