This is a fresh and unique take on paranormal mysteries and it's thoroughly enjoyable. The jokes and the plot-twists keep coming until the satisfying finale. McCaffery must solve a disappearance that swiftly turns into murder, keep his bored teenaged grandson entertained during a week-long visit, deal with limping werewolves, forgetful vampires who lose their dentures, and a very attractive witch who can walk through walls. The main character, Harold McCaffrey, faces the difficult move into a retirement home with a mixture of dread and resignation, only to find himself accidentally assigned to the Back Wing where the residents sleep all day and stay awake all night. In this, the fifth of the Paul Jacobson Geezer-lit Mystery Series, cantankerous octogenarian Paul Jacobson must solve a series of murders while struggling with the problems of his short-term memory loss. Befeler, who writes the Retirement Home Geezer Lit series, takes a whimsical turn with The Back Wing. Who knew vampires, witches and werewolves need nursing homes too? Such is the premise of The Back Wing, Mike Befeler's charming mystery set in the gorgeous Mountain Splendor Retirement Home in Golden, Colorado.
