The Alphabet SleuthsThe Alphabet Sleuths

Four senior gal pals. One dead body. One enormous problem. . . At sixty-nine years old, Claire Reynolds is changing things up. She's volunteering. Learning to rollerblade. She's rescued a shelter dog. And today, she's killed a man. It wasn't on her to-do list, but stuff happens. Besides, the man in question was strangling her good friend Daphne, and what's a gal to do? Scream, possibly. Call the cops. Or--at retired officer Daphne's insistence--call in the rest of their senior gal pals, roll up the body in a blanket, and toss it off a cliff. The dead man is a member of the local crime family, and if the police get involved it's not just Daphne at risk, it's them all. But the body's just the start. Soon the Alphabet Girls--Atsuko, Barbara, Claire, and Daphne--must transform into the Alphabet Sleuths, if they're to keep both their liberty and their lives.
