John Miles's Laura Michaels mystery is set at Timberdale, a retirement center where a troupe of mystery-dinner actors arrives and a real death follows. The resident artist's cheap digital watch opens the book's comedy of grievances. (Open Library)
Watches
- Casio (unidentified model)
- Ellen Smith, Timberdale's resident artist, insists breakfast is late because her watch says two minutes past eight, thrusts her bracelet-laden arm at Laura Michaels and calls it a fine Casio that cost almost twenty dollars at Service Merchandise; Laura later finds it in the silverware with its digital readout at 8:02:14. The maker is named and the watch is digital; no model is given.
