Gina is settling into her new houseboat.  She has a new friends or two in Dot and Erik and she's still managing to have an adventure or two!

This time Dot has managed to set her up as the companion of an elderly couple who had just moved to France. Meredith and Dot seem to have crossed paths before and Dot is worried that she is writing her in to her memoirs. Can Gina inveigle her way into the couples good graces while snooping for her new friend?

The description of the French countryside really let my mind wander and get immersed in the story. There are plenty of laughs and the humour has a very sarcastic British vibe.  The mystery moves the story along and it was well paced.  The very gentle possible-romance with Erik gives us something to look forward to. (P.S. I loved seeing old Dennis get shot down in flames - Go GIna!)

This is a great illustration of why older characters are still worthy of being main characters and not just the secondary character or comedic sidekick.  I'm really looking forward to their next adventure!
