Charity Cleveland knows something isn't right when a charming antiques expert snaps up a valuable item for a suspiciously low price.
Determined to stop a fraudster preying on the elderly, Charity and her best friend Dorothy devise an ingenious sting involving a priceless watch, a discreet GPS tracker, and Dorothy's surprisingly convincing undercover skills.As their plan unfolds, the two seventy-something friends discover they make an unexpectedly effective detective duo. And when their success catches the attention of the formidable Mrs Patricia Thornton - benefactor of Malvern View Retirement Village - it marks the beginning of a whole new chapter in their lives.
With loyal dogs never far from their thoughts, Charity and Dorothy soon discover that curiosity - and courage - don't fade with age.
A warm, witty prequel introducing Charity and Dorothy - and the clever sleuthing that leads to the Mysteries at Malvern View Village.
