Just because they are senior citizens doesn't mean they aren't out for adventure, especially in Dodee's way of thinking. Jim tells Dodee about the first death when he meets her with the news that the lead chef died when he was tasting a dish. That puts Dodee on the hunt and Jim just has to follow in order to keep Dodee safe from harm.
The other characters in the group are quite an assortment. Elvira von Platton and her son Leslie, who jumps at her every demanding command.Otto and Francis Ottoway, he a loud and demanding man who expects his wife to wait on him hand and foot. George and Carol Kaplow who seem to have a similar marriage as the Ottoways. Chefs Morgan Wren, Cecily Featherspoon, Nina Achilles, Alphonse Rouille and a few more....all seeming to have secrets to hide.
