Winston Wong
had a typo in his ad that made him a seniors sleuth rather than a Senior
Sleuth. So, naturally, the first client that walked in was a rickety old lady,
who just wanted to know who killed Teddy. But since the old lady is senile and
confused, that granddaughter wanted Wong to “investigate” the case and help
granny forget about it and move on. I liked the idea of tricking the old lady—it’s
what you have to do sometimes (out of necessity and for fun, of course.)
Needless to say, this was Wong’s first case and he needed the paycheck, so why
not?
Overall,
this was witty and easy-to-read. Some of the old people were not that
interesting, like the Jazz Man. I don’t know, the idea of an old senior case
sounded interesting, but, in reality, it really wasn’t. Yes, Winston Wong had
that funny, crotchety “Jack Lemon” persona, but the mystery was kind of slow
(like old people.)
This was an
okay read.
My rating: 3 stars
