APPLE BOOK OF THE MONTH SELECTIONA high energy foray into cryptocurrency and government corruption.--First ClueThis light and lively series launch introduces 75-year-old Ethel Fiona Crestwater...an elderly Nancy Drew: sure of herself and her convictions, and ready to bend a few rules to achieve her goal of seeing justice done. --Publishers WeeklyFor fans of unexpected-yet-badass female sleuths, meet former FBI agent-turned-boardinghouse landlady Ethel Fiona Crestwater. Her age affords her precious invisibility. She can outthink and outshoot most men--and women--half her age.When someone murders one of her boarders, Ethel springs into action--much to the surprise of her double-first-cousin-twice-removed, Jesse, who has recently come to stay with her while he attends university. As he watches her photograph the crime scene, conceal evidence, and speed-dial the Secret Service Director, Jesse realizes that there's much more to Ethel than appearances suggest.When Jesse is assaulted and the gym bag full of cash Ethel had hidden is stolen from the basement, the pair decides it's time to launch their own unofficial investigation. With no one to trust but each other, this unlikely duo learns that the only thing truly worth risking your life for is family.

This book was a delight, I am here for the trend of feisty, older women not taking crap from anybody 😂 This is a fun short weekend read that I recommend to fans of Richard Osman and maybe fans who would enjoy a tamer Maud from the “The Elderly Lady” books 👍

Christmas has been put away and now I‘m enjoying some couch + reading time 🤩

Tamra I LOVE it when Xmas decorations are stored away. 12/26 is the best day of the year! 😆 I love the holidays but I‘m not a fan of clutter. 2y
Aims42 @Tamra I totally understand that clutter feeling 😂 I stuck to only decorating our living room area this year, and while packing up today I was able to consolidate 4 storage to 3 bins 🙌🥳 2y
Tamra @Aims42 woot!! 2y
