About this ebook
It’s not easy sharing a flat. Especially when you’re 95 years old . . .
Escape from Sunset Grove is the second hilarious and heartwarming crime caper in Minna Lindgren's Lavender Ladies Detective Agency trilogy. Perfect for fans of Richard Osman’s The Thursday Murder Club and M.C. Beaton
Change is afoot at Sunset Grove retirement home, and its residents aren’t impressed.
Under threat from falling masonry, best friends Irma and Siiri are forced out of their home to negotiate twenty-first-century living in the centre of Helsinki. Their new surroundings throw up an endless number of daily challenges, from caring for the ailing Anna-Lisa to the mystery of which of the many remotes controls the TV.
The pair are joined by growing numbers of friends in their flat-share, and their new close-quarters living raises some unexpected questions. As the Lavender Ladies begin to dig a little deeper, they find themselves following a trail of corruption, deceit and intimidation that might just lead them to their own front door . . .
The Lavender Ladies must steel themselves for what is set to be their most dangerous case yet.
Filled with wit and warmth, continue the cosy crime series with The End of Sunset Grove.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a very amusing reading, even if certain aspects of the story are rather gloomy. It starts in a retirement home that is completely renovated. Residents must continue to pay the full amount of the rent, even if the water and the electricity are turned off, in the canteen no more meals are prepared, the walls are broken and the workers begin the noise at six o'clock in the morning.Thereupon, five residents (four women and one man - all over the age of ninety years) temporarily set up an elderly flat share. What they all experienced was amusing. They found an apartment, which used to be a pleasure house. They had to deal with the changing people of the nursing service. They were talking about euthanasia, because the husband of a woman with dementia was on a nursing home. They had to cook themselves again and met two Nigerians in the market hall, who encouraged them to get acquainted with foreign dishes and recipes. They learned that the male roommate is a crook. He is involved in drug addicts, theft and fraud. He also owns the redevelopment company of the retirement home and the women now realized why the renovations were not going forward.
