Description:

A retired serial killer’s quiet life is upended by an unexpected visitor. To protect her secret, there’s only one option left—what’s another murder? From bestselling author Samantha Downing.

Lottie Jones thought her crimes were behind her.

Decades earlier, she changed her identity and tucked herself away in a small town. Her most exciting nights are the weekly bingo games at the local church and gossiping with her friends.

When investigative journalist Plum Dixon shows up on her doorstep asking questions about Lottie’s past and specifically her involvement with numerous unsolved cases, well, Lottie just can’t have that.

But getting away with murder is hard enough when you’re young. And when Lottie receives another annoying knock on the door, she realizes this crime might just be the death of her.

Adele’s Review:

Wow. Wow. Wow! I don’t know when I’ve enjoyed reading a book as much as I loved Too Old For This. Please tell me this is the start of a series! Since Lottie is elderly and needs a hip replacement, maybe readers will settle for a trilogy? Too Old For This is a laugh-out-loud thriller featuring a seventy-five-year-old serial killer church lady. Yes, quite the oxymoron. We fall in love with Lottie Jones and root for her, though a little voice in our heads says we shouldn’t, and we pray she doesn’t get caught.

Author Samantha Downing makes murder FUN in this highly recommended novel with her stellar writing and Lottie’s distinctive, amazing voice. The story pacing is propulsive, the characters memorable, and that voice I mentioned the key to Lottie’s lovability. But make no mistake, despite the laughs, Lottie is as cold blooded as an alligator when she’s angry. Get her mad, and you might end up in her freezer before Thursday night’s bingo game.
