Senior Center Murders

I meant it to be funny but unfortunately some of my readers took real Link Text ( http://www.booklocker.com/books/2637.html )exception to it. In fact, when I was working out the logistics of it, I was practicing on my partner. I stood over her and asked, "So how do I get you to open your mouth?" She shook her head and shrugged. "Well," I said, "I could always pull down on your lower lip." At that point she freaked and refused to help me.

In the book the detective and the senior center director are talking about whether the murder was actually a murder. Most people assumed that it was an accident -- that the woman had simply choked.

“And what? Somebody killed her with a banana?” she laughed.

He laughed with her. “I know it sounds ridiculous when you say the word ‘banana,’ but if she had been smothered with a pillow, we wouldn’t be laughing.”

Congratulations on your first book Review! I do hope your book continues to grow, it looks like a very interesting read. There is nothing like a murder mystery with some good humor. I am assuming that the concept of being murdered by a banana is meant to be funny ;)

Although she didn't quite get the motivation of my killers, she did call it "a well-written tale."
