Here's another the mysteries featuring 'old folks' (there are many nowadays)! Problem is, Margaret cannot remember something she is sure will be useful. And it's her best friend that was murdered so she really wants to help! She has a wonderful grandson who spends a lot of time with her, and thinks he can spark her memory. Follow along as they investigate this case. The Margaret Code was written by Richard Hooton in honor and memory of his grandmother, who had Alzheimer's, and with whom he spent a lot of time. I was impressed. :-)

It starts with a rare bird, said to be nesting at a fine villa in the Swiss Alps. Lady Caroline has been sent to assist her Uncle Albert who is there to add said bird to his life list. All cannot go well, you know that, and one, then two people are found dead. She's done this before, solved a murder (A Body in the Villa is the third in the Lady Caroline Murder Mystery series by Isabella Bassett), and when the police are, um, well, not heading in the right direction she just has to step in and help! Sent in the 1920's, in an era of wealth and privilege, this was a most interesting read that came up in the box from Wandering Reader.
