Synopsis

Murder, She Wrote meets The Odd Couple in award-winning author Laurien Berenson's brand-new mystery series, spun off from her much-loved Melanie Travis Canine series and featuring Melanie's elderly aunts—tough-as-nails Peg and soft-spoken Rose—who'll put their differences aside to stop a killer, if they don't throttle each other first.

Rose Donovan looks for the good in everyone. With her sister-in-law, Peg, that sometimes requires a lot of searching. Even a sixty-something former nun like Rose has her limits, and gruff Peg Turnbull sure knows how to push them. But after forty years of bickering, they're attempting to start over, partnering up to join the local bridge club.

Peg and Rose barely have a chance to celebrate their first win before one of the club's most accomplished players is killed in his home. As the newest members, the sisters-in-law come under scrutiny and decide to start some digging of their own. But as their suspect list narrows, they're unaware that their logic has a dangerous flaw. And they'll have to hope that their teamwork holds steady when they're confronted by a killer who's through with playing games . . .

A fun start to a new series! At first I didn't know if I was going to care for this book. The beginning of it had a lot of focus on dog show/dog show judging and that is just really not my thing, but when the gals joined the bridge club I was hooked. I loved the bridge club group, meeting all the tea......more

DNF’d at 44%. I just didn’t care enough about Poodles, dog shows, or Bridge. The main characters were both unlikeable.......more

Goodreads review by Lisa on April 01, 2022

It's no mystery that I'm a huge fan of Laurien Berenson and her Melanie Travis mysteries. When I saw that Aunt Peg has her own series, I couldn't wait to read it. Peg is a owner/breeder of standard poodles, as has recently become a judge for dog competitions. Normally we find Aunt Peg involved in her......more

Goodreads review by Kristin on September 06, 2022

The blurb comparing this to Golden Girls and Murder She Wrote does this no book favors. I went into this expecting snappy humor and lively senior protagonists using their age and experience to out sleuth law enforcement and instead got dreary personal history, dog show commentary, and almost no myste......more
