Book Review of Retirement Homes are Murder (Paul Jacobson, Bk 1)

Retirement Homes are Murder (Paul Jacobson, Bk 1)

I really enjoyed following octogenarian Paul Jacobson and his friends Meyer and Henry. They live in a retirement home in Hawaii and Paul finds a murder victim in the trash chute. Detective Saito immediately suspects Paul of the crime which sparks Paul to go into investigation mode on his own with the help of his friend Meyer and his grandaughter Jennifer. Not only does Paul have to deal with clearing his name but he has a short-term memory problem which means he can't remember from day to day what events happened. His friend Meyer suggests he writes the day's events in a journal and his girlfriend Marion is also helpful. Paul ends up being surprised by being able to do things he never thought he could do as an octogenarian and certain things he always feared. All in all a good book and I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
