Just How Old Is Too Old to Be a Sleuth?


The correct answer is...well, I don't know if there is a correct answer. My pair of sister sleuths Isabel and Alma Trumbo are septuagenarians, a five-dollar word simply meaning their ages fall somewhere between 70 and 79.

I read not long ago online Jessica Fletcher was in her sixties while Miss Marple was in her eighties. Both of those mature lady sleuths excelled at solving the mysteries they took on. Anne George's Southern Sisters Mary Alice and Patricia Anne who lived in Birmingham, Alabama, were guarded about revealing how old they truly were.

Isabel is the oldest of my sisters, and Alma never lets her forget it. They work at their own methodical pace, and never rush until they are getting near to finding the answer at the story's climax.

Find out the skinny on Isabel and Alma's newest caper by reading Chapter One hosted online at Goodreads by following this link: is.gd/PHeqwV
