Exciting life after 70 is an interesting concept in a book so I’m looking forward to digging into this novel to find out how Sal found happiness and excitement in his life and relationships with the people in his community.

Sal and Mona's journey is worth reading. The plot seems to be a refreshing approach to raise awareness of scammers targeting elderly pople. I appreciate you noting about the unexpected twists in the plot. This book not only offers an engaging narrative, but also insightful advice to protect older citizens from fraudsters. I'm interested to see what happens next in the story. Thank you for a well written review.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting mystery novel following Sal, who is a recent retiree, as he and Mona, a woman he met in Florida, investigate and assist Senior Citizens that were defrauded. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

Scammers often target seniors, making it crucial to support initiatives that help them reclaim lost funds. Stories rarely feature seniors as protagonists, but portraying their lives as meaningful and interesting despite age can resonate deeply with readers.

'Official Review: Easy Marks' by Dennis Walsh has a thought-provoking introduction. It is very well-written and expressive. The point that this is a fictional story about love, adventure, and crime-fighting is worth mentioning in the review. The author switched from romance to action to culture and food styles. Also, as mentioned in the review, he creates awareness of the gimmicks the fraudsters use and how to outsmart them. It was great to learn that the author is commendable for the wisdom he used in writing!

'Who says life can't start at 70? Who says that old age can't bring more fun and love than youth? Salvatore, shortened to Sal, is a clear example that life can get better after active work retirement.'
I think I have a lot to learn from Salvatore for when I get to his age.

It's too sad that horrible, despicable people think elders are "easy marks." I know they are often gullible about technology, so I wish there was an organization like the one in the book. But we need more literature featuring fantastic, energetic senior citizens. It's an often unexplored realm of literature, and it shouldn't be. My mom is rocking her 70s, and many fabulous, not-so-young people are out there!
Thank you for your review!

I wonder if Dennis Walsh himself is in his 70s to get this kind of inspiration which is quite intriguing and unique. I would love to know how this became the best part of all Sal living years. Congratulations to the author on winning book of the day.

Now you got me hooked to read about Mona! She sounds like my kind of character - quirky, funny and full of vigour, the kind that keeps you on your toes. SRS sounds even more unique and may as well be a successful business venture.
Everything I read in the review of "Easy Marks" by Dennis Walsh sparked my interest and curiosity. I'm so rushing to read about Sal and Mona, who found their true purpose later in life.
