Strong Debut

Fred is out for his morning walk when he finds the body of Joan Cavanaugh floating face down in the lake. This is just the kind of excitement that his doctor told him to stay away from. The sheriff is determined to call it a suicide, so Fred worms his way into the investigation, getting the woman's long lost sister involved against her will. But the more he and Kate investigate, the more questions they seem to have. Can they uncover the secret that got Joan murdered? The idea of an elderly sleuth appealed to me, and I was quick to grab this book. I wasn't disappointed. Fred is a charming character. I especially loved the way he was able to talk people into doing what he wanted sometimes. And you can't help be feel sorry for him whenever everyone gangs up on his health. Kate was an interesting character as well full of so many contradictions you couldn't figure her out. The plot itself is great as well. While I saw a few of the twists coming, there were still plenty of surprises for me and I couldn't wait to reach the suspenseful end. Sadly this series is out of print. Don't let it stop you from meeting a charming character. I'll be hunting down the rest of this great series so I can see what happens next to Fred.
