Too Old For This – Samantha Downing

When a journalist shows up on her doorstep looking to make a docu-series clearing her name, retiree Lottie Jones has only one option: to kill her and make her disappear.  However, this starts the ball rolling, as the police, the journalist’s boyfriend, and her mother start poking around.  Can Lottie pull her fat out of the fire without putting further focus on herself?

Samantha Downing’s latest, Too Old for This, brings her back to my Kindle for the first time since 2022.  In this tale, Downing has you pulling for the old lady, even though she really should be the villain of the piece.  Given my enjoyment of this book, I can only hope it won’t be another 3+ years before I come across Downing’s work again.
