I just finished such a fun book out later this spring. Check out A Senior Citizens Guide to Life on the Run by Gwen Florio.

Setting ⭐⭐⭐
Story/Mystery ⭐⭐⭐⭐
MC ⭐⭐⭐
Side Characters ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Villain ⭐⭐⭐

• Quick, easy read
• A bit of fun, if you don't mind unrealistic stories with some darker elements
• Cosy-ish. Felt more serious and dark than I was expecting, and when compared to other cosy mysteries (view spoiler) all of that together was a bit heavy
• Not a happy ending (didn't leave me feeling happy)

• Retirement village setting - which I usually love, but this one is different. It doesn't feel the same. The reason why is explained and part of the story
• There are 4 main characters, but Glenda and Sugar Plum stole the show. Would love to have seen more of Babs as well. They added a bit of zing

• Police interviews - I absolutely love Police interviews in books. However, the female officer.. cops do not talk like that while conducting interviews, ever (if they do, they definitely shouldn't!)
• The mystery was.. a lot. Still processing all the elements
• Hated the end couple

I would read another mystery from this author

#ASeniorCitizensGuidetoLifeontheRun #NetGalley is an entertaining story regarding the lives of 3 women and a man on the run.
I thought the story was interesting and I enjoyed reading the back story about Alice.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of this book.
