Octogenarian Paul Jacobson, who suffers from short-term memory loss, discovers a body stuffed in the trash shoot of his retirement home. Jacobson's running narrative (he writes a journal to stay current with his present-day life) is both humorous and heartbreaking. A quick read for those who like their cozies peopled with elderly characters. The Hawaiian setting adds to the story. Befeler lives in Boulder, CO.
