Lindy Sutton has her hands full. In between having her clown act clobbered by pint-sized critics, keeping a group of sex-crazed octogenarians from starting brawls in the raciest bar in town, and trying to keep her crazy Aunt Pip from being tossed out of Laughing Pines retirement home, she still has to contend with her son’s garish band bus parked in her driveway. Could things get any worse? Yup! Margaret Quaid, the social worker at Laughing Pines is found dead of an apparent overdose and the drop dead handsome detective on the case, thinks she stole the drugs from the retirement home and was pretty active in the world of wife swapping to boot. Lindy’s temper soars, along with her long dormant hormones, as she sets out to clear Margaret’s name, find the murderer and make the sexy detective, Mike Grogan, eat crow. Aided and abetted by the aging, but flamboyant Chappy Lowton, her eccentric and sarcastic sister, her best friend Patty, and that hoard of sex-crazed geriatrics, Lindy wades into the world of swingers only to find that there are plenty of people with a motive to kill the social worker. Lindy’s antics and adventures will keep you fascinated and laughing until the very end.

My Thoughts:

I have to admit,

Dying for Sex

was a little slow. I didn’t feel like the “action” really picked up until closer to the end.

It was a great mystery read that had me stumped. It was fun following along with the clues trying to figure out “who done it” but I was surprised at the end to find out the real suspect. And it wasn’t predictable – a big bonus for me!

The title has the word “sex” but I wouldn’t deem this an adult rated book – it is definitely a PG book when it comes to relationships, but does have adult themes (think swingers and strip clubs).

It has humorous and full of mystery at every turn.

While I did feel it was slow, I would recommend it as a read. I enjoyed it and think males or females could enjoy this book as it was a “girly” or “chick flick” type read.
