Nevada Barr, author of the popular Anna Pigeon series, has written an engaging standalone mystery called “What Rose Forgot.” Rose Dennis finds herself drugged and trapped in an Alzheimer’s unit in a nursing home which no recollection of how she got there. She manages to escape and enlist help from her 13 year-old granddaughter Mel, Mel’s friend Royal, and her hacker sister Marion to find out why nursing home residents are mysteriously dying. Barr writes laugh-out-loud moments in the book as the idiosyncratic Rose wildly outwits the villains while the plot of the book underscores the vulnerability of the growing population of seniors. A great read for adults.
