Sunday night bingo at St. Angela's Church in the little village of Kenmore, New York, can be deadly. The stakes are high and the crowd is large. Priscilla Hatfield needs just one number to win! Bursting with excitement when I 17 is called, Priscilla suddenly grabs her chest and slumps over dead with her two lucky trolls, Jasper and Seymour, and her rosary beads by her side. But her two best friends and bingo buddies have good reason to believe she's been murdered. Fearing the police investigation is going no-where, Ethel Dinwiddie and Nellie Pearce take matters into their own hands and vow to solve the case. These quirky amateur sleuths use creative, unconventional means to uncover evidence to find the murderer. What did Priscilla stumble upon that made her a killer’s target? And will these two feisty bingo-dabbing seniors be able to solve the crime before they become the next victims?

Linda Perelman Pohl is the author of the children's books entitled The Ah-Chooo Book and The Grumpy Queen. Formerly a first-grade teacher, she developed her own literacy program where she visited hundreds of schools. As the Storybook Princess, she dressed up as a fairy princess, complete with wand, crown and glittery shoes and, with her doll puppets, Wanda and Rhonda, promoted a love of reading among young children. She also co-authored the book Doctor, Are You Listening? with Dr. Masood Khatamee, a reproductive endocrinologist. She and Dr. Khatamee spoke before many groups of women, as well as to physicians, about the importance of doctors listening to their patients. They also discussed the importance of women being empowered at their doctor's visits. Her most recent book is a cozy mystery entitled Murder at the Bingo Hall. Two quirky senior sleuths attempt to find out how and why their friend died at bingo. Her novel, entitled Secrets and Sins, has three intertwining storylines. Deceit, love, power and revenge converge where suspense meets romance. Linda is presently working on The Evil Ex-Wife and hopes to finish this book soon. When she's not writing, Linda can be found at the State University of New York at Buffalo School of Medicine or Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine at Florida Atlantic University where she works as a standardized patient portraying numerous illnesses! She loves to write, read, play bingo and mahjong, travel (I have two lovely nieces in Switzerland) and spend time with her four wonderful grandchildren. She is happily married to her high school sweetheart, Stuart, and has two wonderful daughters.

Murder at the Bingo Hall is Drop Dead Fun
Don't worry, the only mystery I'll give away is how much fun it was to read Linda Pohl's most recent book! I really couldn't put it down and I don't normally read this type of material. As I enjoyed the banter between the main characters, Nellie and Ethel, I kept imagining I was watching a made for TV series, (It probably should be) about two wiley, loveable, yet tenacious old ladies!You will try to guess how it all turns out but be ready to be surprised!I'm ready for the next book!

The story held my interest, had a good flow and I enjoyed the determination of the main characters. Look forward to the next Ethel Dinwiddie mystery and hopefully more good cookie recipes

Overall, I enjoyed reading this. It was highly entertaining reading about 2 older women trying to solve a crime and it made me laugh a few times. It's definitely 'cozy' in that the scenes don't get too scary or gruesome. I lowered the rating, as the pace slowed down a bit in the middle, but I will definitely look for more from this writer in the future.

Just finished reading Murder at the Bingo Hall by Linda Perelman Pohl. The perfect book to enjoy on a rainy day or just having a lazy day for yourself. Follow along the adventures of Ethel and Nellie and see if you are as clever as they are solving the murder of their friend Priscilla. Right from the beginning you know this is not going to be an ordinary murder mystery. The two friends are delightful and a chuckle or two might be heard from you as you read along.
P. S. Loved the recipes, but you will need to read the book to get those!

3.0 out of 5 stars A very long read but not too-too bad
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2024
I actually started reading this book months ago but put it down for a while (a good long while) ..due to it seeming to drag out SO! ..but..it's a new year and I was determined to finish it once and for all!!!

The characters are endearing. The storyline was a little unbelievable but it was written very well (context, grammar..no typos, etc.).

If you're a very patient person..and don't mind multiple reiterations, then give this book a try.

As unlikely as it may seem to have 2 church-going, bingo-playing seniors assume the roles of Holmes and Watson, Linda Perelman Pohl pulls it off in her debut mystery novel: Murder at the Bingo Hall: An Ethel Dinwiddie Cozy Mystery- Book 1. The plucky, intrepid Dinwiddie and her master baker partner wend their way through a suspenseful plot that has many twists and turns as they work to solve the murder of their best friend and bingo partner. Set against the backdrop of Pohl’s native Buffalo New York, Murder at the Bingo Hall is a quirky page-turner that captured my attention the whole way. I look forward to Book 2.

5.0 out of 5 stars Detective Columbo would approve!

A most enjoyable read--The two "detectives"--(neophytes early on) hone their skills as they attempt to crack the case
Ethel and her friend Nellie have great instincts--their focus, creativity and persistence at the end is right up there with Detective Columbo---well, pretty darn close!
A surprising satisfying ending.
Linda Perelman Pohl is a very talented writer---her skills come shining through.
