Watch out; that pair of sassy, senior sleuths, Leslie and Belinda, are on the trail again.


If you thought life after retirement was boring, you’ve never met these two widows. Leslie takes curiosity to new heights while Belinda—her reluctant sidekick—is always up for an adventure. Together they plunge headfirst into the crisis at hand, while Leslie’s energetic, diminutive dog, Riff-Raff, provides backup.

What do a missing call girl, a lame deer, and a truckload of catsup have in common? The two best friends have no idea, but they just know something is amiss. Throw in a corn maze, a smelly warehouse, and a rundown bait shop, and you have all the ingredients for another wild and wacky exploit. Sticky situations and comedic antics abound whenever these meddling senior citizens are involved. You won't want to miss the catsup fight!

Honestly, hilarious and wonderfully written. Intelligent and clever! So tired of stupid books written by seemingly illiterate oafs.
Thanks for the good time!

This story is more slapstick comedy than cozy mystery. Leslie and Belinda dive headfirst into everything without really thinking through the consequences. They put themselves in danger by being impetuous. It does get a little old having Belinda always saying no and then doing it anyway. I found some of the physical things they did were out of line for women their age--especially Leslie since she didn't ever exercise. I really wish Leslie would leave Riff-Raff at home once in a while. This is an easy read for those looking for a little diversion from everyday life.

Leslie Barrett and her best pal Belinda Honeycutt are back...and they're on the trail of a missing Jane Doe. But what do Papa Field's Catsup and a call girl named Kiki have to do with it? I loved tagging along on another adventure with these two engaging Jessica Fletcher wanna-bes, whose characters are even more well-developed (and hilarious) than in Linda Browning's first book, Daredevil. Highly recommend for lovers of cozy mysteries!

I have enjoyed reading all of Linda S. Brownings books. They keep you in the dark as to "who done it", and the Leslie and Belinda main characters offer humor as well as great crime solvers. Looking forward to seeing more of her books since I've now read all of hers to date.

3.0 out of 5 stars Slow moving
Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2016
I was really hoping this book would be interesting seeing as the characters are older boomers who liked to solve crimes and some of the reviews highly praised it. I found myself fast skimming through a lot of the book. I liked the description of where they lived and thought it was funny how one of the neighbors went south to FL for the winter. Also the deers were a nice touch. The 2 main characters I didn't find all that interesting and with her bringing the dog everywhere they went got on my nerves. I see so many people bringing little dogs in the grocery stores, restaurants etc which I think is improper but that's my opinion. I really like Madison Johns books with Agnes Barton and Eleanor as senior sleuths. All in all I couldn't give this book more than 3 stars and at that I'm being generous. “I was provided a complimentary copy of this book so I could give an honest review.”

4.0 out of 5 stars Review of Shanghaied by Linda S. Browning
Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2016
I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book so I could give an honest review.
The retired duo of Leslie and Belinda are solving another mystery. The two neighbors are best friends. The one is vocal on putting wrongs to right. The other is practical but the same feelings of justice. They make a great team. The novel starts with the disappearance of a lame doe. The deer hasn’t come to their neighbor’s yard for scraps. Nothing is ever simple and the chain of events drop the two into the thick of crime.
This is a cozy mystery. That they could continue to fall into mysteries is a stretch, but the events are logical and possible. The story is well written and although it is posted as a mystery, it is more about the relationships the two women have with others. I enjoyed it.
