Genre: cozy mystery, England
Several seniors form their own detective agency based in a charity shop for dogs that one of them operates. The group wants to solve the stabbing death of a senior female in their village and start by listing possible suspects and spying on possible future victims.
The Domino Murders are so called because the killer leaves at each crime scene the name of the next victim, etched on a domino tile. The group intensifies their sleuthing when one of their own, Fiona, is listed as the next victim. Fiona declines safe house protection by the police, intent on finding the killer.
I enjoyed how the group went about finding the killer's tactics that made the unsuspecting victims open their doors and invite him in. The whys and who of the case eluded them till the end, when they are come face to face with the dangerous perpetrator. It was interesting that the crime motive was such a simple one.
All in all, an enjoyable cozy mystery with elderly and sometimes quirky sleuths. I gave this four stars.
