About this title

About the Author:

Peter Abresch lives in Maryland, but travels continuously with the Elderhostel program, developing new ideas and plot lines for his series. Tip A Canoe is the third in the series.

From Booklist:

James P. Dandy, retired physical therapist and reluctant sleuth, and his paramour, Dodee Swisher, are attending a nature study Elderhostel on South Carolina's Santee Lakes. As the outing begins, a murder has occurred; another one follows, and then a group member disappears. Thanks to some cloying dialogue, this third Jim Dandy mystery is not as strong as the prior two entries in the series. Still, fans will find plenty to enjoy. The mystery itself is challenging, with many red herrings and a surprise ending; the outdoor scenes are vivid; and the story is well paced. Abresch also offers sensitive insights on love, aging and bereavement. Recommend this series to readers who like strong, active seniors as main characters. John Rowen
