The plot is great, the character cast is spot on, and the dialogue and humor is so quick, smart, and addictive . Nevertheless, because this book gives me humorous traits, I do love to read what these two ladies do in the next book.

These two facts combined mean that I have an extremely soft spot for the elderly, especially senior citizens getting in trouble and solving crimes, and that's probably the only reason I'm giving this 3 stars instead of 2. Best Friends with a different personality, Clementine and Margaery as two cute best friends who have different personalities give me all the feelings. I was hoping that The Dinner Lady Detectives was going to join the group but it became evident very early on that this was not to be. A charming cosy mystery that will make you laugh out loud, perfect for fans of Julia Chapman and Fiona Leitch.

There are some good points and even a twist or two I didn't see coming, but it's mostly quite bland and seems like something that was quickly thrown together.

In addition, just as it seemed like the action was really pulling together, we'd get sidetracked with a long description of some cafeteria task or another.

I did like Clementine and Margery, a couple of some thirty years living quietly in the tiny village of Dewstow, South Wales, but I sometimes had difficulty distinguishing between them. With little more than a hunch and a stray earring to go on, Clementine and Margery begin their own investigation, determined that whoever is responsible will get their just desserts.
