Who’s Killing the Old (and mostly lovable) Mystery Writers?: Old Guys Murder Mystery #5
Mystery writers scheme like crazy on how to murder somebody. That’s what they do.
Now, one writer turns thinking into doing. With gusto.
Eight of the top mystery writers meet in a remote resort. Their mission: write a perfect mystery novel. They’d done it before with the #1 global smash-hit bestseller Dead Men Don’t Age. To kick it off, they invite Charlie North, retired columnist and now famous blogger, to be the opening night speaker.
The writers are cocksure about the financial return. Heck, the movie rights are already in the bag for big bucks. They just have to sit down and do what they do best: write about murder. But, then, one writer gets murdered. Then another. Charlie North and his buddy Ben Tucker jump in to investigate.
The mystery writers keep writing. And another body falls. Charlie and Ben think they have it all figured out, but these writers are a strange and crafty bunch. They specialize in thinking up how to kill somebody, covering tracks, and not getting caught.
It all comes clear, in a single room, and justice seems to be served. Ah, not so fast. There’s more.
If you’re in the mood for a quirky mystery novel that plunks humor and suspense into the same blender, put this book in your hands today.
For sure, this book reads fast. Old guys like things fast.
By the way, this book doesn’t have cursing, not even amusing cursing. If this bothers you, feel free to let fly where you wish while reading the book. The author won’t be offended.
Get it now.
WHAT READERS SAY ABOUT OTHER ‘WHO’S KILLING’ BOOKS…
“Looking for something to make you laugh? This is it. It captures the joy of aging and the camaraderie of men. The mystery was okay, the fun was in getting there.”
“This was one of the most enjoyable books I have read in ages. It is funny throughout but has really touched on real life. It has a great cast of characters that one would love to have as friends.”
“First of all, the main character is older and isn’t portrayed as A Superman. The anecdotes at the beginning of each chapter had me sharing most of them with my husband. And I must admit out of the literally thousands of mysteries I have read, none have ended this way.”
“If you’re a senior who often reminisces about your younger days, you’ll love this book. It’s not politically correct but an honest take on what life was like before the internet.”
“Must reading for us old guys. A fast paced, imaginative, and laugh-out-loud funny mystery. Lovable characters, especially Beach, the stray dog.”
“This book had me laughing several times while keeping me into the mystery going on. The old guys really won me over here. Enjoy!”
“I loved this book. Funny, irreverent and surprising twists make for a great read. As an officially old person, I can relate!”
“Honesty chapter 12, that was a gut buster for me. I laugh whenever I think about it.
You will love this book; it is a mystery but sometimes funny.”“What a great book to put first the older generation’s life history and challenges along with solving a mystery I am close to the main character’s age. I have not laughed so hard in a long time.”
“I was thinking of another book series to compare this to. The 1st that came to mind was the Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman. Both series feature old people as protagonists. Both are fun to read. Both are mostly cozy mysteries. The one element I like better in Spoelstra’s series is that the main characters are American with American humor. This is not to swat at the British, not at all: the Old Guys Murder series is just more fun for me, as an American, to read. So there it is plain and simple: I’m reading not to make myself smarter, but for the fun of it all.”

THE SETTING
England’s rural fenland is a strange place, with its never-ending fields, winding tracks, and long straight droves (the old livestock routes) that lead to nowhere. The lonely lanes are flanked either side by deep drainage ditches and are, for a good part of the year, filled with tall, whispering reeds. Closer to the Wash, high seabanks form a barrier between river and marsh, and the richly fertile soil of the drained land. But when the mists come down, as they so often do, perspective is destroyed and all sense of direction lost, and then the fens become a rather frightening place of mystery and danger. Somewhere that you do not want to be at night.Read more

The picturesque privately-owned island of Gillibry off the North Devon coast turns out to be the perfect site for a murder . . .
A routine weekend visit by the Gillibry Bird Observatory Trust is made memorable by the owner’s announcement that he is going to sell the island. A sale would mean the end of the Observatory, which for some of the birders made life worth living. A fire in Charlie Todd’s cottage added to their distress. And when, next morning, after a fierce storm, they found Charlie dead in a bird hide, their pleasant September weekend assumed a dangerous new face.
Charlie Todd’s murder could have been the deed of any member of the Trust. And it falls to one of their own, George Palmer-Jones, to unravel the identity of killer within their midst . . .
