Book Review - The Case of the Bouncing Grandma by A. K. Arenz
The sight shocks Glory. Her daughter, Andi, fails to believe Glory, causing Glory to question her own sanity—until the movers walk past again and grandma Glory gets a second look. Convinced of what she has seen, Glory tries to get sister Jane to believe her.
Jane’s reaction only spurs Glory to prove to everyone she is correct, and that at least one of the members of the new family next door is a murderer. Her task proves tougher than she had ever imagined. Even the police think the grandmother with an over-active imagination has banged her head one too many times.
Has there been a murder? Can Glory manage to make Detective Blue Eyes understand that she isn't seeing things? Only by reading A. K. Arenz’s The Case of the Bouncing Grandma will you learn the outcome.
