Synopsis – Old Girls Chateau Escape
Two old friends. One unexpected adventure!
When, at the age of 71, Gina Knight’s husband of four decades left her unexpectedly, she thought her life over. Until she met Dorothy Reed – a woman so full of the joie de vivre you’d think she was 21, not nearly 90. Gina would do anything for Dorothy. So when Dorothy suggests she take on the role of companion for one of Dorothy’s old friends, Gina sees no reason to say no.
Meredith Harper is a successful writer, living in Provence, and needs help looking after her husband, whose health is deteriorating. But when Gina arrives at the grand chateau, it becomes clear that Dorothy has not given Gina the full story. Because Meredith is also writing her memoirs, and Dorothy wants to know the contents before anyone else. So much so, she’s sent Gina to spy.
But what secrets is Meredith keeping? And will Gina be able to find out the truth before her cover’s blown?

My Review
The Old Girls’ Chateau Escape by Kate Galley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I read the first book in this series, Old Girls Behaving Badly, and enjoyed it. I thought it was engaging and cute. It ended in a way that made it clear that there would be more from these characters.
I was happy to pick up this book. Though it is a series the books do work as standalone stories.
In this installment Gina is looking after a friend of Dorothy’s. Dorothy wants Gina to snoop around to find out what secrets is Meredith planning to reveal in her upcoming memoir.
The mystery is not “deep”. It’s just enough to be entertaining. The writing style in engaging and funny.
I do admire stories that include older characters and showing that they can still be funny, exciting, fun and can reinvent themselves at any age.
If you like cozy mysteries then I think you should give this series a go.
