Getting Old Can Be Hazardous to Your Health

A new addition to our collection is the latest in the 'Geezer-Lit' mysteries, Nursing Homes are Murder by Mike Befeler (number six of the series).

Octogenarian sleuth Paul Jacobson is back again.  This time, he's in Hawaii and asked for help by Detective Chun, who needs someone undercover to help investigate a sexual assault at a nursing home.  Things take a turn when the assault victim becomes a murder victim.

Jacobson has to cope with short-term memory loss as well as with some of the eccentric residents of the Pacific Vista Nursing Home, including wheelchair racers and one with a taste for soap.  It's a well-paced mix of humor, danger and mystery as Jacobson tries to put a stop to a killer before the killer puts a stop to him.
