Digging Up Otis (May List Mysteries)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
May and the gang are at it again!
What's life without a little crime to solve? Boring, that's what! At least for May List, whose days consist of waiting on her doctor husband, Ted, to retire, trying to put her underwear on the right way and figuring out how to avoid the wrath of her cat, Trixie. But evil never sleeps at the Waning Years Estates, and Fanny, Bob, Ida and Grady call May back into action when one of their own goes missing. May is soon on her way, and this time so is Ted, who, for better or worse, catches a detective bug even he can't cure.
As soon as she arrives, the sleuthing senior and her quirky friends set out to discover why, how and if their friend Otis died. Nobody is quite sure until he shows up floating in the Estates' swimming pool in front of several terrified residents. May and the gang know something is fish, but who would want to kill poor Otis? His beleaguered and cheated upon wife? His sexy girlfriend? Or maybe the guys he owed money to at the Sunken Balls Pool Hall? The real Otis may or may not be dead, but one thing is certain: May, Ted, and the wily seniors will do anything-scam scammers, crash a funeral, streak, and, yes, even dig up Otis (twice!)-to uncover the truth and solve the mystery before anyone, or everyone, else gets killed.
