I enjoyed reading about Jake Russo. He was a different type of hero. Jake was sent down to florida to write fluff pieces for his paper. Jake was fat and lost a lot of weight was running 7 miles eating right. but his co-workers back in new york didnt believe. He meets charoltte and later she is found dead on the beach but he believes it was murder. the setting was round senior living partments. the characters are fun and different. I did guess who the bad guys were before the ending. I would read another Jake russo mystery. I was given the e book in exchange for review. Murder in Sarasota (A Jake Russo Mystery) by Phil Edwards was a fun read. Jake Russo is sent down to Sarasota Florida to write for the local paper. He is sent to a senior living facility where he meets Charlotte. She enlists the help of Jake because she banned from playing bridge and someone is stalking her. The ending was pretty easy to figure out, but it didn't stop you from reading. I wanted to find out if I was right, and I was.
Just simply not a very good mystery - notplot nor setting nor characters worked for this reader.

Just when I thought it was getting better it got worse. It was a clever story though.

A quirky comfy mystery with lots of humor
