I totally disagree with this, life can't start from 70 years because by then all the youthful strength is gone. You will live at the mercy of the previous investment you have made. Good job.

Retiring shouldn't mean getting bored until you die, so senior citizens who have some good ideas to help other people can start a new life at any age. That offers an interesting idea for this novel, especially thinking about how many elderly people are targeted by scammers. Thank you for your great review!

Whether people discover their life's purpose earlier or later, it is always lovely. There is still a chance that we will live long enough to accomplish something important.

Aa much as I agree that life can begin at any age, it's better to love every moment of your life and live it to the fullest starting early.

Mona is my favorite character in the book. I like how she enjoyed and was living her life even at sixty- four years. The way she shoots her shot at Sal is a course to be studied (lols).
Mona's character seems funny. What is this shoot all about? And enjoying at a senior age is desirable. I'd like to discover how Mona and Sal get along with SRS. Thanks for your interesting review!

Inside the non-pretentious front cover we meet the retiring Sal Gianelli. Thoughts of spending his retirement doing relaxing activities like cooking and playing golf are put on hold when he delves into an admirable and intriguing adventure.

The book caters to an older demographic, but it's important for us to also connect with it in order to gain valuable insights for the future. In my opinion, the review was outstanding and comprehensive.

I love how you highlighted the unexpected turns in the plot. It's always great when a book can surprise you and defy your expectations. And Mona sounds like such a fun, vibrant character

It’s so amazing how this book reawakens the hope that no dream is worthless. Regardless of the age and society

I enjoy Italian culture and food. I am a senior. Until now, I have never heard of Senior Recovery Services, which helps senoirs recover money stolen by fraudsters. I love history and some romance. This book features all of these elements. My interest is piqued.

"Easy Marks" by Dennis Walsh tells the story of the ups and downs that old age can sometimes bring. While most people retire at old age and celebrate, others are not so lucky. Salvatore is the son of an Italian immigrant to the USA whose parents own a restaurant in Boston but he he and his sister inherited the business after their parent's retirement. Sal retired after 25 years on the job but things didn't work out as planned. Nice review.

This is a book I look forward to reading! Being at an age where I start thinking about being retired, I love the approach that so-called older people can live their lives, achieve so many things, blossom in a relationship. I love crime-fighting novels, but after reading the review I am also looking forward to reading about the food.

A great review and a greater book I guess! Unique and much insightful concept of SRS for old aged people is applaudable. I like how the author has handled the interesting story with mixture of romance, action, culinary arts and drama. Just wondering why "Easy Marks" though?

I believe Sal and Mona coming together to form SRS and all that it represents was born out of Sal's inner desires, a dream within him, that has been longing for an opportunity for expression, and not even age could stop it, It had to manifest somehow.

Senior citizens can be the favorite target for scammers but no one can think they're safe from scam attempts, especially online. This novel features this kind of issue but there's much more to enrich an engaging story that keeps the reader's attention until the end. Thank you for your great review!
