Senior Moments Are Murder: A Paul Jacobson Geezer-Lit Mystery

Mike Befeler. Five Star, $25.95 (268p) ISBN 978-1-4328-2509-6

Mystery fans of all ages will welcome Befeler's third humorous cozy featuring octogenarian Paul Jacobson (after 2009's Living with Your Kids Is Murder). When Paul, who suffers from short-term memory loss, awakes one morning next to an attractive woman he doesn't know in an unfamiliar garage apartment, he decides to clear his mind by going for a walk. Outside, after determining he's in Venice Beach, Calif., he discovers a dead body in a canal. Soon after, he learns the woman in the bed is his fianc%C3%A9e, Marion Aumiller, and it's their wedding day. When the body in the canal turns out to be a murder victim, Paul resolves to solve the crime before he and Marion depart in two weeks on their honeymoon cruise to Alaska. Aided by a daily journal he keeps and his 12-year-old granddaughter, a computer whiz, Paul once again proves a formidable sleuth. (Aug.)
