Official synopsis Publisher
The Devils Who Knew Too Much begins with a dead body, illicitly buried in 1945 and accidentally dug up in Pike’s Wood in 1987. Archie Beresford and his pals, known as the Old Devils, know all about the corpse and how it got there. It was their secret and would have remained so if sweet Lola Spriggs had escaped her killer and not left half her fortune to a shiftless dog breeder named Preacher Boswell. Unfortunately, the Old Devils know all about Mr. Boswell, too.
“The saucy, sexy senior citizens of The Devils Who Knew Too Much prove over and again that there’s no fool like an old fool, especially when they’re fooling around with each other. Author Jane Gillette makes merry with their attempts to deal with two murders, one forty years old and one current, and with the ongoing complexities of life and love. An extremely enjoyable and intelligent mystery.”
-Roger Miller, author of Invisible Hero.
