Description: With a killer in their midst and a high-tech developer threatening to overhaul their beloved bowling alley, the seniors of Sun City West turn to amateur sleuth Sophie “Phee” Kimball to strike back at both culprits. She’s been recruited by her mother’s friendThis s before, but this time Phee finds herself pulled in two directions when one of the book club ladies gets tangled in the clutches of a dangerous cyber-scammer who pretends to be the love of her life.
Phee’s investigation grows even more complicated when the bowling alley is sabotaged and a flimflammer is found dead in the nearby bushes. With the league tournament in limbo and one of the seniors pegged as the likely murder suspect, Phee will have to cut the cord on the cyber-criminal and pin the killer—before they can strike again . . .
Genre: Mystery- Cozy
Why I Picked This Book: I love this series and have been reading it since the first book.
My Impression: When I start a book in this series I'm looking forward to chaos and quirky characters getting into trouble all while a long suffering Phee tries to keep order and calm. This didn't let me down! There was cyber scamming, affairs, rumors of a serial killer, lizards loose in a bowling alley, and just general chaos - all with stops for bagels and coffee in between.
There were two mysteries going on here. The first involves the murder victim and the second involves who is romance scamming one on the Book Club ladies and why. The murder definitely kept me guessing. The victims had multiple people who wanted to remove them from the equation so it kept me (and Phee, the rest of Williams Investigations and of course the Book Club ladies) guessing! The scamming isn't so much a whodunnit but a how is it going to get unraveled and we saw quite a bit of Rolo which always makes me happy.
The conclusion was a fun one and a bit of a surprise! I'm also oh so glad I don't have a dog like Streetman in my life but it is always fun to read about his misadventures! If you're looking for a light quirky cozy with a good portion of humor and likable characters this series is a great pick and this mystery was a fun one!

I really enjoy a series when I also become invested in some of the side characters and also care about their journeys:)). This sounds like one of those - thank you for a lovely review.
