The only
thing Nixy and the Silver Six crafty seniors enjoy more than making a scene—is
making sense of a crime scene.

Word Excerpt from Paint the Town Dead:
“Nixy, child, how do we look in
our new polo shirts?”
I realized the Six were lined up
for inspection. We were each outfitted in white shirts with Handcraft Emporium
embroidered in forest green above the left breast. Sherry, Maise, Aster, and I
wore blue jeans and tennis shoes, while Dapper Dab wore his shirt with
polyester pants and loafers. Elegant Eleanor, as I liked to call her, had
dressed up her shirt with blue linen slacks and low-heeled pumps.
“You look fantastic. Does the
shirt work for you, Fred?”
“Ain’t used to working with a
collar around my neck, but it’s okay.”
Fix-It Fred was a walking
hardware store in bib overalls. Tonight he wore a dark denim. The many tools he
stuck into each of his dozen pockets stood soldier straight.
With that, all the seniors but
Fred headed through the door into the emporium proper.
“Where are y’all going?”
“To mingle in the store,” Sherry
said with a wave.
When the door closed behind the
exodus, I cocked a brow at Fred. “You’re not going out front?”
“Nope, out back. I told Ida
Bollings to park in the lot out there, so I’ll go keep a lookout for her.”
“You see Ida a lot?”
He winked. “What can I say? I got
a weakness for dames with hot wheels.”
“Wheels as in her big blue Buick or
that new walker she’s sporting?”
“Both. Besides, she’s bringing
her famous pear bread.”

Hehehe, Nancy Haddock, I'm always learning new things about you! This is truly a super book, I'm hooked on the Silver Six, love them all, they are such wonderful characters. And of course Nixy and her detective, Eric Shoar! The tension between them is wonderfully hot. And Mz. Gilroy. I hope she stays around for awhile.
You rock this series, Nancy!

Leslie Ann, hi! Thanks for stopping by to comment, and thank you for the lovely compliments on the series! I do have a great time with the characters. I don't know if Nixy will ever figure Miz Gilroy out - I sure can't!

La Vida Vampire is my favorite book ever. I wrote a review on its paranormal motifs and mystery. It was a school essay on https://essaytyper.pro/ to type it in 3 hours, I did it in 2.
