Murder, She Wrote meets The Golden Girls in the award-winning author’s brand-new series! Two cantankerous septuagenarians, opposites in every way, put aside their differences 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. Bridge is typically seen as a wholesome pastime, yet this group of senior citizens harbors a wealth of vices, including gambling, cheating, and adultery . . .

By comparison, Peg and Rose’s fractious relationship is starting to feel almost functional. 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 . . . ( )

While this is a new series, Peg Turnbull and Rose Donovan are not new characters. They also appear in the Melanie Travis Canine Mysteries as Melanie's aunts. I haven't read those books, so these characters are new to me. This can be read as a standalone, but you are missing some background as to the relationship of these two women, who are sisters-in-law.
Peg and Rose join a bridge club, and after only 2 meetings, one of the members of the club is murdered. Peg and Rose decide to question all the members as to their involvement with the victim. By doing so, they put themselves in danger.
There is also a lot of Peg and her poodles, which is cute and endearing. I will read more of this series as I find these 2 sleuths interesting. ( )

Hmm, this book made me want to read the cozy mysteries I see patrons check out all the time, with a dog or cat on the cover, and some sort of fallen or spilled object. Rose and Peg are endearing and flawed characters, and I would gladly read a second book. ( )

This was a very well-put together read. In hindsight, I feel like I watched an awesome, well thought-out movie. The pacing was excellent, the character was interesting, and you really feel drawn into his world.

The character's thoughts were realistic, and what I love about Henk's work is that while set in the real world, (relatively), there are hints of mysticism and downright out-thereness that just works.

It took me so long to read because I'm terrible with reading things lately, and busy, but it was not the fault of the book in any way, shape, or form.

This was a riveting, sci-fi jaunt, and it makes me want to upload my consciousness into an alien body suit if only to see what the fuck would happen. (And if it's anything like what happened, here, count me the fuck in.) ( )

Peg and Rose Solve a Murder by Laurien Berenson is the debut of A Senior Sleuths Mysteries. I enjoyed reading this entertaining cozy mystery. We get to know Peg and Rose. We learn what caused a rift between them over forty years ago. The author sets the stage before she begins the mystery. The whodunit commences about a third of the way into the book. Both women are curious about the crime. When they learn that Detective Sturgill is asking questions about Peg, the women decide to do some sleuthing of their own. I like that each woman has her own investigative style. Rose is more laid back, casual, and indirect while Peg is like Sherman marching to the sea. There are several suspects, a red herring or two, and subtle clues. This was a fun mystery to solve. The clues were well-done. The mystery had an enjoyable reveal and good wrap up. I laughed often while reading this tale. Peg and Rose are entertaining. They are delightful characters. I also liked Rose’s husband, Peter. The Standard Poodles (Hope, Coral, and Joker) are a delight. They each have their own personality. The ending is sweet. I like how we received updates on Melanie and her family. I am looking forward to Rose and Peg’s next adventure. Peg and Rose Solve a Murder is a witty whodunit with an unpredicted phone call, bridge club blunders, delightful dog show days, a card player killed, sinful sweets, suspicious suspects, and two senior sleuths.
