My 5-Star review in entirety posted at Amazon for 'Mildred in Disguise with Diamonds' (Book 1 - Mildred Unchained:

Hits the Jackpot!

The odds are in favor for potential readers taking a gamble on ‘Mildred in Disguise with Diamonds,’ Toni Kief’s first “Mildred Petrie” book, and mercifully not the last, in the genre of Women’s Fiction/Adventure and Mystery/Crime/Suspense.

Widowed at 71 and unable to make ends meet due to her husband’s exorbitant gambling debts, Mildred applies for a job at the Ivory Winds Casino—ironic, but conveniently close to the one-bedroom condo she lives in. Thinking it’d be nice to get hired as a cashier or money counter, her police background qualifies this septuagenarian for undercover security.

In disguise, Mildred—G-ma—makes her rounds at Ivory Winds. Is she Delilah Hopper, Oliver Brimstone, or Bambi Hunter, while taking advantage of the free buffet.

Double-oh-Seventy-One is a hoot you’ll want to tag along with on every action-filled page: Mildred’s interesting past and the elements of mystery, crime, suspense, and danger await.

You’ll also feel part of her family and want to get in on those Pepperidge Farm apple turnovers she’s fond of baking.

Place your bet on this highly recommended book.
