One murder to solve and another to cover up. It'll be tricky, but the OAPresidents of Sunset Hall are going to give it their best shot.
Sunset Hall is a house-share for the old and unruly, led by Agnes Sharp. It's aneventful day when this group of idiosyncratic geriatrics gets a visit from thepolice to inform them of some shocking news: a body has been discovered nextdoor. Everyone puts on a long face, but they are secretly relieved that thebody in question is not the one they're currently hiding in the shed (sorry aboutthat, Lillith). Now the answer to their little problem with Lillith may have falleninto their laps. All they have to do is find out who murdered their neighbour, sothey can pin Lillith's death on them, thus killing two old birds with one stone.
To investigate, the group (not forgetting Hettie the tortoise) will venture intothe not-so-idyllic village of Duck End and tangle with sinister bakers, brokenstair lifts, inept criminals and their own dark secrets.
'The Sunset Years of Agnes Sharp operates in its own skewed universe. Fans of the Thursday Murder Club books will find much to like here.' - The New York Times
