I love to read so I will be adding a weekly book review to my blog. I read many different kinds of books but I especially look for books without profanity, sex or other adult situations.
This weeks book:Out of the Frying Pan by Michelle Griep & Kelly Klepfer
This is a great book featuring murder, romance and sleuthing senior citizens. If you think that a book taking place in a retirement community would be boring then think again.
Fern and Zula are widowed sisters-in-law living together in a retirement community. One is quite conservative while the other is very colorful and maybe even a little scatter brained. One morning they come across their murdered community cook and they try to be oh so helpful in solving the case.
Things are not as they seem in this little community and when KC hears of the trouble her Aunties are invloved in, quickly flies out to try to keep them out of more trouble. The dashing detective Jared Flynn has all the ladies of the community bringing out their granddaughters and nieces to meet him.
Solving mysteries is not all these ladies, do in the midst of this, there is a bit of matchmaking going on not to mention their own dating lives.
There is a lot to follow in this book. There are surprising twists throughout the book and this was one mystery I didn't solve a 3rd of the way through. So there is nothing predictable about the plot or characters.
Overall this book was a fun read. The book does have a Christian theme running through it, but it is not very heavy. If you enjoy mystery, romance and quirky characters I think you will like this book even if you are not Christian. The religion portion is really just a reflection of who the characters are and in no way preachy.
