Many thanks to NetGalley, Tor Publishing | Forge Books, and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the second book in the Mrs. Plansky series by Spencer Quinn, with the audiobook perfectly narrated by Petrea Burchard, who really brings Mrs. Plansky alive. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4 stars!
Mrs. Plansky is fresh off of winning a thrilling senior tennis championship with her doubles partner, Kev Dinardo, and is gearing up to celebrate with him on his yacht. That is, until the yacht is destroyed in a fire. Kev claims the fire was caused by a lightning strike, pure bad luck, but there's one small problem—Mrs. Plansky didn't see any lightning. Then Kev goes missing, as does her son, Jack. Does her 98-year-old dad know anything about all this?
Once again, it's fun to inhabit Mrs. Plansky's world for a while, and it's nice to see an older woman portrayed as vibrant and capable. Mrs. Plansky excels at tennis, takes care of her dad, and still has time to solve a mystery or two - what's not to love? I would definitely recommend reading the first in this series, but this one would work as a standalone as well. The audiobook narration was perfect, and I ended up mostly listening to it. Quite entertaining and I'm looking forward to more escapades from Mrs. Plansky!
