Description
Retired engineer and widower Reginald lives alone in a nice apartment complex.
When he receives an unexpected visit from the president of the resident’s association, he’s suddenly asked to take over as building manager. The reason? The young lady that he will inherit the position from has recently been murdered.
Reginald accepts the position – and the keys – to begin his new responsibilities, and it’s then that he discovers a shoebox full of diamonds.
Entangled in the mystery of the woman’s death, and falling fast for her mother, Reginald digs for answers… but this plot goes deeper than even he could anticipate.

I read this book so quickly that I was disappointed to finish it. I loved the main character and it reminds you that age is just a number. I would say it reminded me a little bit of Agatha Christie and perhaps MCBeaton. I would really recommend this to cozy crime lovers everywhere.

Reginald, retired engineer and widower, is asked by the president of the resident's association to take over as building manager, because the lady supposed to inherit the position has been murdered. But no sooner does he get the keys to the apartment complex, he finds a box full of diamonds.
This cozy mystery contains a touch of humor, is faced paced and full of red herrings. I will be on the lookout for this author's word.
I received an advance review copy for free and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
