Mrs. Plansky receives a call from a person stating he’s her grandson in the middle of the night requesting $10,000 to help him out of a situation. Of course, she helps as that’s what grandmothers do. In the morning, she finds that her life savings is gone. She’s been scammed and law enforcement says finding the perpetrators is hopeless. That doesn’t stop Mrs. Plansky from embarking on an adventure to Romania to find her money.
MRS. PLANSKY’S REVENGE was a fun cozy mystery. I loved that the main character was in her seventies. It seems like most of the books I pick up have middle-age or younger characters so to be reading about an older main character was refreshing. Mrs. Plansky is surely spunky. I enjoyed following her on her journey to Romania and was cheering for her the entire time. I also liked Dinu even though he did some unlikable things. The pacing was quick and I would have been happy to read this in one sitting if I hadn’t had some things interrupting my time that forced me to put the book down. The writing was done well, bringing the setting and characters to life. I was sucked into the story right from the beginning. I laughed quite a few times but also felt sad at points since scams like this happen in real life. The ending of the book was satisfying.
I loved MRS. PLANSKY’S REVENGE and would highly recommend it to fans of cozy mysteries. This is the first book I’ve read by the author. I will definitely be looking into his other works.
