When one of the batty residents of Sunset Hall receives a free trip to a fancy hotel and spa, all of her elderly roommates decide to go with her. However, mysterious things start happening almost as soon as they arrive — there's a presumably dead person floating in the pool with a curled up snake resting nearby; two hooded people go for a walk along the ridge, but only one returns; and why is there a random guy dropping onto the balcony of their room? The titular Agnes and her friends decide to investigate these various mysteries in a manner that is more than a bit chaotic.
I'm not sure what I thought about this as a mystery. Halfway through, it was hard to tell who or how many people were dead, and there were no real suspects, which felt a bit late to call this a mystery for real. Fans of the Thursday Murder Club, Marlow Murder Club, and Killers of a Certain Age might pick this one up, though it's not nearly as good as any of those mentioned earlier in this sentence.
