I enjoyed this book (and also liked #2-digging up Otis.)
May List, wife and mother, to a cheating jerk of a husband (or is he?) She leaves her hometown and moves into an Adult Living Facility. Where she meets a slew of the strangest people ever! Bob wears brightly colored tutu (or nothing at all,) Fanny grumbles while her walker scapes along on the floor.
Her neighbor, Mrs Berkowitz, is hated by all the residents. Then she turns up dead. May and her band of misfits solve the mystery.
T. Dawn Richard makes it a total laugh fest. From LOL belly jiggly moments to silly snickers - it's all good!

Pretty unique mystery premise.After reading cozies for awhile they can all start to feel the same but this one was different.The main character was an older woman who's husband had left her and she found herself moving into a seniors home where many "characters" live.I'd definately read more by this author!

extremely fluffy, altho it starts out a bit creepy....
an alright, quick read.
i would read more of her books, to see what May does next.

I found this book a little predictable and not as funny as I thought it would be. Sometimes reading can be affected by your mood, and I read it during Tropical Storm Debby, which caused plenty of anxiety in Florida, so don't pass it over solely on my review, but I was a little disappointed in this book.
This book really got me laughing. Just the thought of these seniors running around doing all of these crazy things... I couldn't help but laugh! Yes, there were a few moments where I cringed due to the TMI tendency the author had in relation to some "issues" that older people tend to have, but overall I'd have to say that I enjoyed it! I'm still chuckling about some of the things in the story- even a few days later. I will definitely read book 2, "Digging Up Otis", just to see what trouble "the gang" gets into next.
