Hattie Rosales lives in a retirement residence at Shady Rest. In the first 2 chapters there are 2 murders. Who would suspect a walker wielding, cane bearing senior of such feats? As the story progresses, Hattie's skills come to light via flashbacks to a chance meeting with Millie at a Tupperware party and their subsequent ventures as hired killers. An intricate plot is further complicated by the arrival of Latasha Cranton, Chief of Police and her astute observations. The Deadly Mondaine is an excellent debut novel from author Craig N. Willis. This reader hopes to see more work from this author.
