Nothing Ever Happens Here by Seraphina Nova Glass is a recommended novel following two mysteries in a small Minnesota town.
Shelby and Mackenzie are best friends. The night Shelby survives an attempted murder is the same night Mack's husband, Leo, disappears. Fifteen months later, Leo is still missing and Shelby thought she was safe - until she receives a threatening note. Then a group of senior citizens, led by Florence, decide to investigate and discuss the cases along with another suspected murder on a podcast, which quickly goes viral, increasing the threats to Shelby. At the same time Mack is dealing with the financial mess Leo left behind.
This mystery involving Shelby's attacker and the disappearance of Leo were both interesting, however, the incompetence of the police was disappointing. The even-paced narrative has the feeling of a cozy mystery, especially after the farcical seniors enter the picture. The ending is satisfying, although not entirely unexpected.
This novel is a good choice if you enjoy a group
of wacky seniors crime solving and can set a major dose of disbelief
aside. After the first unlikely occurrence which happens early on I was
bothered. Then the (annoying) seniors entered the picture and from that
point on the novel was just okay for me. The plot might have held my attention more if the group of seniors were left out.
