Three Things About Elsie by Joanna Cannon (ebook on Overdrive)

     When the book begins we are introduced to Florence - she is 84, living at a Home for the Elderly, and unfortunately she has fallen and is waiting for someone to miss her and to come looking.  The first two things about Elsie are easy.  She is Florence's best friend since forever.  Whenever Florence is down on herself Elsie will know the right thing to say to make her feel better.  The third thing - well you will have to wait to read the book to find out.
      As Florence lies on the floor she begins to think about Elsie rescuing her when she stops by as she promised.  And then she begins to try and figure out how the new resident looks just like  someone from her past and she is worried.  She is worried because she thinks he might harm her - and also because that man died 60 years ago.
      I loved this book.  The characters are great and the mystery of that man is woven throughout the narrative.
