Octogenarian sleuth Myrtle Clover has never heard of the dice game Bunco. Regardless, she steps in as her daughter-in-law's sub and reluctantly puts her game face on.

Bunco turns out to be child's play. But when a body is discovered, Myrtle realizes another game is afoot. Before long, she's playing cat and mouse with the killer.

Can she track down the murderer before the game is up? Or, with the killer playing hard to get, will it end up being "no dice"?

I enjoyed this book. It is so much fun and sure to make you chuckle, if not laugh out loud. I love everything about it and the whole series from the mystery to the characters to the cat, even the garden gnomes. If you haven't met Myrtle Clover then you are in for a treat and can I just say why are you starting on book 8, do yourself a favour and get the rest you won't be disappointed. Myrtle is such a great character, she is feisty and sometimes (when the occasion a raises) frail old lady that runs rings (with her walking stick) around the police as well as the bad guys. The supporting cast is just as good and as it is a long running series (one that I hope continues for a long time) you get to know them so well. As well as a strong cast the mystery is also good and I think could compete with Jessica Fletcher and Cabbot Cover on tv, or at the very least compete with Myrtle's favourite show. Off to listen to the next book.
When Myrtle's son and daughter-In-law suffer a major bathroom mishap Myrtle rushes in to help by offering to host Elaine's Bunco night at her house. Sloan the newspaper owner will also be happy with Myrtle hosting the party because on of the players is the biggest gossip In town and he needs Myrtle to get close to her in order to help the struggling newspaper. Hosting twelve people in her small house might be a tight fit and get Myrtle closer to the gossip than she would like, especially as Red her son is in trouble and Myrtle's entire gnome collection has made an appearance in the garden. But losing a guest to murder wasn't exactly the plan either as the women hit over the head with the garden tool was the gossip herself. Myrtle's sidekick Miles is laid up with a stomach bug and with gremlins playing havoc with all the cars in the town Myrtle will have to get out her walking stick if she hopes to catch a killer and save her beloved newspaper. Good job Pasha her cat is on hand to lead a paw.
I wasn't sure about the narrator at first because she made Myrtle sound to old and dodery to me and not like someone who could stand up to her grandson let alone a killer but she soon won me over and I enjoyed her interpretation of the characters.
I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
