Sobre este título
This tale of the irresistible and unforgettable Mrs. Plansky, "a terrific character" (Stephen King), will lead her up and down coastal Florida and beyond in a brand-new, whirlwind adventure, Mrs. Plansky Goes Rogue!
Mrs. Plansky is fresh off of winning a thrilling senior tennis championship with her doubles partner, Kev Dinardo, and is gearing up to celebrate with him on his yacht. That is, until the yacht is destroyed in a fire. Kev claims the fire was caused by a lightning strike, pure bad luck, but there's one small problem—Mrs. Plansky didn't see any lightning.
Already certain there's more going on than she's being told, Mrs. Plansky's curiosity turns to concern when Kev goes missing. Her suspicion gets the better of her and leads her to break into his house, only to find it ransacked.
But Kev isn't the only person Mrs. Plansky has to worry about. A conversation with her dad reveals that not long ago, he'd introduced Kev to Jack, Mrs. Plansky's wayward tennis pro son. And now, her dad—distracted by arrangements for his upcoming wedding—either can't remember or has no interest in divulging any details.
Worse? Now Jack has gone missing, too.
"[Narrator] Petrea Burchard's portrayal of Mrs. Plansky brings to life a believable and endearing character. Listeners will feel like they've met the witty, athletic 70-year-old before."—AudioFile

Resumo da Crítica
"Loretta Plansky—and Spencer Quinn—are more charming and clever than they have any right to be. In Mrs. Plansky Goes Rogue, our resident seventy-one-year old with an artificial hip is up against love, villainy, and exploding yachts. Quinn’s writing is Mercedes-smooth, carrying us through another caper with verve and delight." —Gregg Hurwitz, New York Times bestselling author
"In her second adventure, Quinn’s heroine brings the same charm, humor, and sturdy constitution that readers enjoyed from book one. Mrs. Plansky uses others’ perceptions of older people to her detecting advantage to find answers. Fans of Only Murders in the Building, Richard Osman’s “Thursday Murder Club” series, and senior detectives in general will love Loretta and wish for many more adventures."—Library Journal (starred review)
Praise for Mrs. Plansky's Revenge:
"I absolutely adored this book. Really fun but with a few teeth, as well. Mrs. Plansky is a terrific character. The story ticks along like a good watch." —Stephen King
"Mrs. Plansky's Revenge is a triumph that pits an original, memorable, and deeply human protagonist against a plausible threat, then takes us on an unexpected, thrilling, and satisfying journey. Heartfelt, thoughtful, and always suspenseful."—Michael Koryta, New York Times bestselling author of An Honest Man
"Mrs. Plansky is a wonderfully memorable heroine, full of wit and equally plausible as an ace tennis player and a motorcycle-driving detective with Romanian gangsters hot on her tail. Readers will be eager to see what Mrs. Plansky gets up to next."—Publishers Weekly
"Quinn's briskly plotted nail-biter takes unexpected twists and turns that are nicely balanced by Mrs. Plansky's memories of her husband... Her age never becomes a detriment. Rather, she works it to her advantage, employing great ingenuity to solve a crime that elevates her into an immensely likable, wholly appealing heroine." —Shelf Awareness (starred review)
"There's a lot of derring-do and old-fashioned hugger-mugger. I... love Mrs. Plansky." –Globe & Mail
