Story
Eyes Peeled is the Isle of Man’s first and only detective agency. Not much happens on the idyllic Island that needs detecting, so on the whole, the team is not the most adept. In fact, generally speaking, they’re pretty useless. One of the agency’s more eager employees is Sam Levy. Nearing 40, he’s finally found a job he actually loves - even if he isn’t particularly good at it. Okay, let’s be honest. He’s rubbish. Still, Sam’s services are secured by persons unknown to track down a glamorous yet mysterious art dealer recently arrived on the sleepy Island.

A sophisticated, pause-resisting double love story spanning 40 years-an unforgettable Brief Encounter for our times. It is 1960. When Jennifer Stirling wakes up in the hospital, she can remember nothing-not the tragic car accident that put her there, not her husband, not even who she is. She feels like a stranger in her own life until she stumbles upon an impassioned letter, signed simply "B", asking her to leave her husband. Years later, in 2003, a journalist named Ellie discovers the same enigmatic letter in a forgotten file in her newspaper's archives.

Publisher's Summary
Jack Tate is hopeless....
Everything he touches turns into a disaster, but he means well. His business is even less successful than his love life. His once-thriving coffee shop was on the brink of bankruptcy, but salvation could be right under his nose.
At the insistence of his loyal and underappreciated assistant, Emma, he sees that the last hope of saving his business could be the only customers who’ve not deserted him for the faceless coffee chains - the old folk.
To attract new customers, Jack and Emma set up the Isle of Man’s first dating and social club for the elderly - The Lonely Heart Attack Club. Eager to give his elderly congregation a sense of purpose, he sets them a challenge that may be one step too far: to become World Record holders.
They may be old but there is plenty of life left in them, and Jack soon realises that they're not just customers; they’ve become friends.
Could his unintended compassion to his wrinkly client base also be the catalyst for romance?

Made me laugh a lot.
I read non-fiction about 98% of the time, and was looking for something light and easy as a break, and this book definitely lived up to that. Pros: Not enough books involve a full cast of elderly characters so this one helped fill that void. And it was very funny. Cons: The narrator read too fast, but that’s easy to fix with Audible’s speed settings. And at times the book took an overly optimistic turn - it started out with a more realistic blend of events and personalities both good and bad, but kind of evolved in a “happily ever after” direction towards the second half. Still, quite enjoyable and worth the read.

A funny, warm-hearted story set on the Isle of Man
Jack finds himself middle-aged, overweight, and single after his last relationship failed. Despite all the suggestions from Emma, his supportive employee, Jack’s coffee shop is failing to attract much business, the bills are piling up, and he’s facing eviction. When Emma notices the number of vulnerable elderly people in the neighbourhood, she makes a win/win suggestion: the should cafe run a lonely hearts club for the elderly. Jack christens the venture ‘The Lonely Heart Attack Club’ and things start to turn around for everyone. This was written with a lot of sweet humour involving hilarious situations and banter: Emma has a soft spot for the good-naturedly clueless and shambolic Jack and it’s lovely to see their repartee. Audio narrator Chris Devon has a great regional UK accent that really suited the characters - great work!
