Solving crime like only Myrtle can

I enjoyed this book. This is another fun mystery in the Myrtle Clover series. At book 16 you know what to expect but at the same time it still remains entertaining and can still elicit a chuckle. I love the characters and it wouldn't be the same with out predictions from Wanda, Elaine trying a new hobby, Pudding and Dusty shuckin there cleaning and gardening jobs, hiding from neighbour Erma and even Myrtle and Miles own insomnia. Actually the more I think about it, the more I remember the little quirks from the delightful characters that make it such a great series and one I love joining. The mystery was woven well into Myrtle's everyday life and gave her and Miles plenty of opportunity to investigate like only they can. I did guess who the killer was and picked up on the clue that gave the killer way. I love mysteries that are full of clues so the reader can solve it themselves. I hope I don't have to wait too long for the next mystery with the Octogenarian slueths.
Fed up with always losing at scrabbling with ex English teacher Myrtle, Miles turns his hand to chess. Hopefully practicing with novice Myrtle means he can get back into winning form and play against his friend, Darren. But when Darren phones Miles it seems he has more on his mind than chess, he found some old newspaper clipping he wants to share. When Miles and Myrtle arrive at his house they find no sign of him, until Miles ventures into his attic and finds his dead body. Who would want him dead?and why? Could it be connected with the newspaper clipping? Or the previous treasure he found in the attic that made him a rich man. Miles and Myrtle set out to find out.
I liked the narrator. She used her voice well to provide different sounding characters up and down the age spectrum.
