Dead Letter

An M. Falcon Mystery, Book 1

By: Catherine Bender

Narrated by: Carol Herman

Martin Davies and Della Rose are more interested in having fun playing detective in their golden years than being detectives. Their team of enthusiastic blue-hairs is a treasure trove of unexpected skills and employ unconventional tactics.

Behind the sweet, wheelchair-bound grandmother facade, Estelle is a master hacker with the online handle MeatGrinder56.

Wendy, a semi-retired actress, lives her dream of being a super spy while scrapbooking fingerprints to go with her surveillance photos.

Homeless veteran Mac, the team's eyes on the street, is invisible to the public.

When a letter arrives from a deceased client asking them to retrieve a cheap china doll, the game turns fatal as they find more dead bodies than answers. When the killer decides that Della and Martin are getting too close, the couple needs to find the murderer before their fun comes to a permanent end.

An interesting story to listen to

Catherine Bender has developed a pleasant tale of mystery and intrigue. Della and Martin are well-developed as characters- almost quaint, but also endearing. The story keeps up with today's world yet weaves in some hints of nostalgia. I encourage you to check out other works by Catherine or Stacey Bender.

Dead Letter

A cute cozy mystery with relatively laid back sleuths. Even though Della and Martin are in their golden years, they still have what it takes to get to bottom of the mystery. Who knew a relatively benign piece of mail could lead to so much trouble!

This was an entertaining listen written by Catherine Bender and narrated by Carol Herman.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Charming Mystery

Enjoyed engaging , charming mystery with quirky characters. Would have preferred a younger sounding narrator.

Loved the story

Reminded me of Perry Mason. The characters would say something and I would see Perry and Della saying that same thing. I liked this one enough that I also listened to the second book in the series. I was given a free copy by Audiobooks Unleased and am leaving this review voluntarily.

Not for me

I tried to listen to this book but it didn't catch my interest. I finally gave up and returned it.
