I've read nine of Ann Purser's Lois Meade series so when I saw she had an Ivy Beasley "spinoff" I couldn't resist. I'm very glad I picked up this series. I found myself drawn into Ivy's world quicker than Lois'. The murder is immediately introduced along with a secretive neighbor. I found myself intrigued by this neighbor, Gus, who ends up working with Ivy, her cousin and a fellow nursing home patient...or inmate as they like to call themselves! I didn't guess the murderer and the story kept me intrigued until the end. I'm reading book two and looking forward to more adventures with Ivy and her detective team.
