The Sunset Years of Agnes Sharp
Reeks: Miss Sharp Investigates
Leonie Swann
- A
- quirky
- group
- of
- seniors
- attempts
- to
- solve
- one
- murder
- while
- covering
- up
- another—with
- the
- help
- of
- an
- enterprising
- tortoise—in
- this
- twisty,
- darkly
- funny
- mystery
- from
- the
- author
- of
- Three
- Bags
- Full.It
- has
- been
- an
- eventful
- morning
- for
- Agnes
- Sharp
- and
- the
- other
- inhabitants
- of
- Sunset
- Hall,
- a
- house
- share
- for
- the
- old
- and
- unruly
- in
- the
- sleepy
- English
- countryside.
- Although
- they
- have
- had
- some
- issues
- (misplaced
- reading
- glasses,
- conflicting
- culinary
- tastes,
- decreasing
- mobility,
- and
- gluttonous
- grandsons),
- nothing
- prepares
- them
- for
- an
- unexpected
- visit
- from
- a
- police
- officer
- with
- some
- shocking
- news.
- A
- body
- has
- been
- discovered
- next
- door.
- Everyone
- puts
- on
- a
- long
- face
- for
- show,
- but
- they
- are
- secretly
- relieved
- the
- body
- in
- question
- is
- not
- the
- one
- they’re
- currently
- hiding
- in
- the
- shed
- (sorry,
- Lillith).It
- seems
- the
- answer
- to
- their
- little
- problem
- with
- Lillith
- may
- have
- fallen
- right
- into
- their
- laps.
- All
- they
- have
- to
- do
- is
- find
- out
- who
- murdered
- their
- neighbor,
- so
- they
- can
- pin
- Lillith’s
- death
- on
- them,
- thus
- killing
- two
- (old)
- birds
- with
- one
- stone
- (cold
- killer).With
- their
- plan
- sorted,
- Agnes
- and
- her
- geriatric
- gang
- spring
- into
- action.
- After
- all,
- everybody
- likes
- a
- good
- mystery.
- Besides,
- the
- more
- suspicion
- they
- can
- cast
- about,
- surely
- the
- less
- will
- land
- on
- them.
- To
- investigate,
- they
- will
- step
- out
- of
- their
- comfort
- zone
- and
- tangle
- with
- sinister
- bakers,
- broken
- stairlifts,
- inept
- criminals,
- the
- local
- authorities,
- and
- their
- own
- dark secrets.
