Old Girls Behaving Badly

By: Kate Galley

Narrated by: Patricia Gallimore

A delightfully heartwarming and funny story that proves it's never too late to change the habits of a lifetime, perfect for fans of Judy Leigh, Hazel Prior and Maddie Please.

Something old, something new, something stolen…?

Gina Knight is looking forward to the prospect of retirement with her husband of forty-three years. Until, to her surprise, said husband decides he needs to 'find himself' – alone – and disappears to Santa Fe, leaving a Dear John letter in his wake.

Now Gina needs a new role in life, not to mention somewhere to live, so she applies for the position of Companion to elderly Dorothy Reed. At eighty-nine, ‘Dot’ needs someone to help her around the house – or at least, her family seems to think so. Her companion’s first role would be to accompany Dot for a week-long extravagant wedding party.

But when Gina arrives at the large Norfolk estate where the wedding will take place, she quickly discovers Dot has an ulterior motive for hiring her. While the other guests are busy sipping champagne and playing croquet, Dot needs Georgina to help her solve a mystery – about a missing painting, which she believes is hidden somewhere in the house.

Because, after all, who would suspect two old ladies of getting up to mischief?

Age doesn’t matter in fun and mystery

Great story. Anything can happen at any age. We even learn we have new skills to use.
Great characters. Love their flaws, it makes them realistic.
Nice ending that,I hope, gets developed in another story.

All of it

The story was wonderful. And I absolutely love the narrator, Patricia Gallimore. I could listen to her read a book all day, and have. And I have to say, she picked a great one to read. The story is captivating and interesting and keeps you engaged. Could not recommend more highly

When Age Helps You Go Undercover - Old AND Young!

This is great! The blossoming relationships are fulfilling and wonderful to watch unfold. The sleuthing is tense and stimulating! I loved the story of everything culminating at the destination wedding. Great romp! Would recommend!

a fanciful light read

A lighthearted read. The narrator’s change of voice for characters was off putting for me.

Slow story-DNF

I stopped with 3 hours to go. This started out good and I thought it would be about starting over after a marriage was over. But it was about a revengeful older lady who wanted help finding a piece of artwork. Not real likable characters therefore I did not care what happened to them and stopped listening. Narrator was good.
