It is encouraging that Walsh's character development is excellent, giving readers a chance to empathise with the protagonists and the achievements Sal and Mona make. Thanks for the wonderful review.

'Easy Marks' is a lovely title. It reminded me of 'Six of Crows' and their crew language for naive people. The author is using the same for older people and it fits because generation gap births ignorance to the innovations of newer generation.

A well-written book featuring seniors who set out to help their friends who had been scammed online, with the assistance of a group of tech geniuses. I like the technology aspect, and Mona sure sounds like an interesting, likeable character. Thanks for the review!

It's disheartening that fraudsters target the old people who are not at par with the trends, leaving them in heartache and worse situations are premature deaths.

I liked the character Mona and I would love to read this book and get enlightened. I like that she decided to live her live despite being on an older age.

The idea of life beginning at 70 and taking unexpected turns is refreshing. I love how the author weaves together elements of romance, action, and cultural richness. It's also great to see a focus on the often-overlooked issue of fraud against seniors.
I believe in something greater than myself.

Wow. This book sounds fun and it makes me want to get the entire story. I would also love to have a wonderful old age. I don't intend to be lonely at all. I'm glad the book brings awareness to faudsters preying on senior citizens.

I salute Dennis Walsh for the wisdom he used in writing Easy Marks. Older people are an easy target for fraudsters because many are lonely and not up to date with the trends in technology. I like how the author was able to write a story on this issue, creating awareness of the gimmick the fraudsters use and how to outsmart them.
- Fascinating! Fraudsters think they're the smartest but then we have people like Walsh who can out smart them and help the innocent at the same time. A very appealing review. Thank you.

Having had elderly family member that are victims of fraud, I will pen this down for a quick weekend read. Seems there is much learn from Sal’s journey.

It's perfectly clear that age is just a number, it doesn't mean anything to everyone. We all witness this from Salvatore he commenced a relationship after retirement and it gave birth to SRS. They both done it with Mona
