Sinister Seniors

In today’s podcast, Sally shares a couple of book picks with a similar theme: sinister seniors. There’s something fascinating about a strong senior woman with a dark edge! If this theme interests you, check out these two reading suggestions: Too Old for This by Samantha Downing “Lottie Jones thought her crimes were behind her. Decades earlier, she changed her identity and tucked herself away in a small town. Her most exciting nights are the weekly bingo games at the local church and gossiping with her friends. When investigative journalist Plum Dixon shows up on her doorstep asking questions about Lottie's past and specifically her involvement with numerous unsolved cases, well, Lottie just can't have that.” https://fvrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S21C1964264 The September House by Carissa Orlando “When Margaret and her husband Hal bought the large Victorian house on Hawthorn Street — for sale at a surprisingly reasonable price — they couldn't believe they finally had a home of their own. Then they discovered the hauntings. Every September, the walls drip blood. The ghosts of former inhabitants appear, and all of them are terrified of something that lurks in the basement. Most people would flee. Margaret is not most people. Margaret is staying.” https://fvrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S21C1902915
