Perfect for you if...

You enjoy mysteries with odd-couple protagonists who spark off each other rather than solve crimes with brute intellect
You've loved Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club and want more cosy mysteries with real heart
You appreciate stories where older characters are sharp, curious, and central to the action, not sidelined

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer high-stakes crime procedurals with forensic detail and morally grey detectives
You want a locked-room puzzle where you can solve it yourself before the reveal
You're looking for gritty or dark crime fiction rather than charming genre fun

About this book

A widowed former anthropologist and his millennial caregiver investigate a murder in their condominium community. Harry Lancaster, once a globe-trotting anthropologist, now spends his days observing his neighbors through binoculars while recovering from a fractured hip. His caregiver Emma wants to draw him back into active life. When their mysterious neighbor Sue calls for help, Harry and Emma arrive to find her dead from poisoning, days after a break-in at her house. Determined to uncover what happened, Harry pursues the investigation while Emma joins him. As they search for answers within their quiet residential community, they uncover numerous motives and suspects—and discover they may have attracted the attention of a dangerous killer.
