    I’ve always loved mysteries, especially those involving Agatha Christie's Miss Marple. Perhaps because Miss Marple reminds me of my aunts when I was growing up. But Agatha never told us much about Miss Marple's earlier life. While writing my own elderly super-sleuth series, I’m tracing her career from the start. As you’ll see, if you follow the Miss Riddell Cozy Mysteries series.

    However, this is my Bio, not Miss Riddell’s, so here goes with all you need to know about me: After retiring, I became a writer and when I’m not feverishly typing on my laptop, you’ll find me running, cycling, walking, and taking wildlife photos wherever and whenever I can. My cozy mystery series begins in northern England because that was my home growing up and that’s also the home of so many great cozy mysteries. Stay with me though because Miss Riddell loves to travel as much as I do and the stories will take us to the many different places around the world I’ve lived in or visited.

    These fun short stories show the intriguing friendship of 2 older sleuths who solve murders everywhere they go. I’ve already read some of Ms. Mykel’s Cozy Quilt Mysteries so meeting Nona at a younger age was fun. I haven’t read any of P.C. James’ books yet and am looking forward to seeing Pauline in action in earlier books. The author’s partnership works well and I enjoyed reading the stories.

    Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2022

    Having read the various Pauline Riddell cozy mysteries, I was intrigued by this latest work, which is a collaboration of two authors. This time Pauline is much older and has retired from her day job, but not from solving murders.

    She's joined by Gretta Galia, Nona to her friends, of quilting mysteries fame, also a retiree. The pair meet at a winery in Niagara Falls and are soon faced with their first suspicious death to resolve.

    The stories are brief and nicely paced, just enough to set the scene of another grisly murder, which our famous amateur sleuths then unravel. The settings are varied, including a haunted house, a tour bus, and an amusement park. I enjoyed the pairing of Pauline and Nona and would love to read a full novel featuring the duo.

    As a great P.C. James "Miss Riddle Cozy Mysteries" fan, it was a pleasure reading this new series: Sassy Senior Sleuths by P.C. James and Kathryn Mykel.

    These six short stories are just the right length and tempo. I especially enjoyed how these two became good friends and continued touring America, only to spend most of their vacations solving crimes and mysteries.

    As a true fan of Miss Riddle's Cozy Mysteries, it is the perfect time in her career to have this new sidekick, Nona, mesmerizing us as they continue to team up with more adventures. I give this series five stars. After reading them through in one sitting, I reread them and enjoyed them even more.

    Read and Enjoy!!!

    Nona and Pauline are observant and solve the problems that crop up during their travels. Each story is a quick read and it is fun to see how they figure out who done it. I had planned to review each story but absolutely hate trying to make up a headline and was so happy with each story I did not want to take the time to review each before going on to the next one. Purchase the set and you won't be let down.

    I received an ARC and this is my voluntary review. These stories are a quick read featuring two older amateur sleuths named Nona and Pauline. This was like a box of fancy candy that was hard to put down until they were all done or in this case all read. Lots of fun and humor along with murder which is a great combination.

    Two elderly ladies out to have a nice quiet time, go on some tours, enjoy a beach or a pleasant meal - maybe even a bit of theatre. But murder just keeps following them around. Luckily they have what it takes to get themselves out of trouble and solve the puzzle. The killer hasn’t a hope with these two sleuths. Short stories to keep you entertained!
