Dutch Me Deadly by Maddy Hunter


Whoever said senior citizens aren't tech savvy never met the tour group from Iowa. Ignoring the famous canals, Rembrandts, and local sights in favor of their iphones, the midwestern tourists meet up with a group from Maine celebrating their 50th high school class reunion.

Emily Andrew, tour escort and granddaughter of one of the seniors, doesn't like Charlotte, the guide on this trip. The woman is bossy, patronizing, and orders the group around like a sadistic preschool teacher. When Charlotte meets with a fatal bicycle accident, Emilu suspects foul play.

Just as entertaining as the previous books in the Passport to Peril series, "Dutch Me Deadly" is a delight.

Books I read in May 2012

In Just One More Thing, actor  Peter Falk relates stories from his life. Short on the details that make up a biography, this volume is mostly recollections of his roles and co-stars, such as John Cassavetes and Alan Arkin. Falk, who has a master's degree in public administration, was a washout as a public servant, but snagged roles on the stage, in film, and on television as the rumpled Lt. Columbo. He was also a talented artist, and some of his work is included. A quick, interesting read about an unconventional man.
