A Novel Morning Book Club: Too Old For This by Samantha Downing

About this event

Join us on the fourth Monday of each month to discuss this month's selection. Our group reads an eclectic mix of popular fiction with a wide range of genres and authors. New members are always welcome! Too Old For This by Samantha Downing When walker-wielding septuagenarian Lottie Jones pulls up her compression socks and answers her door one day, she gets an awful surprise. Ambitious documentary filmmaker Plum Dixon wants to feature her in an online series telling comeback stories of people falsely accused of crimes. Well, Lottie simply can't allow that. She has changed her name, relocated, and made a new life for herself revolving around her church, and even a hint of past criminal involvement could ruin everything for her. The horrible truth is that although she was exonerated of several murders 40 years ago, she actually did commit them. And her house was paid for by the money she won suing the city of Spokane over her "ordeal." Lottie makes a hasty but seamless dispatch of the unfortunate Plum, but when people come looking for the young woman, the long-retired serial killer finds she must go back to work full-time and try not to kill her somewhat enfeebled self in the process.
