Maddy Hunter (Passport to Peril mysteries) was another author I looked at when considering “competition.” She, like Peter Abresch, also writes about senior citizens, although her Iowans go on trips to Europe and Peter’s take classes across the U.S.

Hunter’s sleuth is the granddaughter of one of the seniors. Grandma reminds me a lot of Stephanie Plum’s grandmother in Janet Evanovich’s books.

Hunter is probably best known for her delightful sense of humor - a chuckle on every page. So far, I’ve read Alpine for You, Top O’ the Mournin’, Pasta Imperfect, and Hula Done it.
