Description Getting Old Is Murder (Gladdy Gold #1) by Rita Lakin 3.69 of 5 stars 3.69 · rating details · 548 ratings · 77 reviews 23 Gladdy Gold 75 narrates driving retirees around Ft Lauderdale from their Florida condos. Selma and Francie are the first to die, coincidentally days before their birthdays. Can slow gardener Denny hear his mama on the phone nightly? Detective Langford has a hot dad, Glad's style. In this start of the Gladdy Gold cozy mystery series, retiree Gladdy proves herself an excellent sleuth, capable of outdoing her local police department and avenging her friends' deaths. Lakin introduces us to Gladdy and her Gladiators, aka, sister and friends, who live in a Florida retirement home but are itching for something to do besides gossip. Gladdy is the one who starts to put together the idea that the heart attacks suffered by elderly women were actually something more sinister. Her spirited defense of those who doubt the elderly, her battles amongst her friends over who's going about their sleuthing best, and a hint of romance with Jack Langford make this a fun read. Gladdy's nods to her love of reading mysteries, her genuine expressions of doubt, guilt, fear and longing, all make this beginning an exciting one, and open up a world where being old means you have all the more life experience to draw on when solving crime. Gladdy is a brave heroine who risks upsetting those around her and doesn't rest even when the cops do that she's made sure to catch the killer.
