- Synopsis
- A Canadian detective looks into a wealthy lady&’s mysterious demise in &“an entertaining read&” (Library Journal). Thanks to a noisy toilet, Benny Cooperman is pulled into a new case—when he learns that his janitor&’s elderly girlfriend has died of hunger—despite having plenty of money. The question is why she couldn&’t get access to it, and Benny will find himself investigating a lot of unsavory characters to find out, in a novel by an Arthur Ellis Award winner &“who can bring a character to life in a few lines&” (Ruth Rendell). &“Benny Cooperman, the low-key Grantham, Ontario, private eye who has as little success shushing his Jewish mother as getting Kogan, the janitor of his building, to fix the leaky hall toilet, agrees to a trade: If Kogan will deal with the plumbing, Benny will plumb the death of his pal Lizzy Oldridge, who died of starvation . . . Benny&’s a charmer.&” —Kirkus Reviews &“Benny Cooperman is one of the most enjoyable private eyes in crime fiction.&” —The Toronto Star There Was an Old Woman is the eighth book in the Benny Cooperman Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
