Buchtipp: Too old for this
Lottie Jones thought her crimes were behind her. Seventy-five-year-old retired serial killer Lottie Jones is enjoying her quiet life of church bingo, potlucks, and no visitors. All that changes when a docuseries producer shows up at her doorstep for an interview.
Well, Lottie can’t have someone digging up old secrets, and just like that, she’s pulled out of retirement. As one murder leads to another, Lottie realizes it isn’t the 1980s anymore, and she has a lot more physical and technological challenges when committing and concealing murders ...
«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 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.
