Humorous crime - 'dramedy' - that has its way with the crazy, funny world that is South Florida. Characters you'll love and despise bring to life a story for grown-ups that will raise the question - Could this happen? (Hint - Yup.)
Shirley and Stanley Nowack retired to West Sago Beach, Florida, expecting to live out their days playing mah-jongg and golf in the warm sunshine. Cue the worst recession since the 1930's. Their already meager investments haven't rebounded.
Determined not to spend their remaining years dumpster diving and sleeping in parks, they find jobs. Menial ones. They're over 70 and fortunate to get those.
But bad luck and deeper trouble soon pummel them into desperation. Add in their control-freak daughter's and Don Juan son's problems, and they're on a collision course with disaster. This rule-following, white-bread, and average couple hatches a plan to save their home and return them to days of leisure.
There's just one eensy problem. If they caught, they'll go to jail. What could possibly go wrong?
Alias Mitzi Mack edition by Victoria Landis Literature Fiction eBooks
Alias: Mitzi & Mack is a wonderfully entertaining story, a well constructed, fast paced screwball comedy that is reminiscent of such classics as "It Happened One Night", "Some Like It Hot" and "The Philadelphia Story" but with a racier plot line and a razor sharp assessment of love, lust, marriage and money in the iPhone era.Ms. Landis is in control of the story from beginning to end, weaving characters and story lines effectively and effortlessly, creating a wonderful tension that had me totally invested and more than a bit concerned about the fate of Stanley and Shirley Nowack, a happily married retired couple living comfortably in Florida until their finances take a terrible turn for the worse and they are forced to veer off the straight and narrow road in a desperate attempt to hold on to all they've worked, scrimped and sacrificed for.
Alias: Mitzi & Mack is often laugh out loud funny with a menagerie of well drawn characters and supporting players and dialog that crackles. Once the wheels are set in motion, this book becomes a true page turner. It would make a terrific film. For me, there is nothing more fun and exciting than discovering a new artist, musician or in this case, author and believe me, Victoria Landis is a gifted, funny, immensely talented writer who deserves a wider audience and recognition.
So here's my recommendation. Give Victoria Landis and "Alias: Mitzi & Mack" a shot. You'll be glad you did.

Alias Mitzi Mack edition by Victoria Landis Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
In Alias ; Mitzi & Mack I found the characters are quirky but deep. I was amazed how the story explored the darker side of nice characters and added endearing characteristics to unpleasant ones. Dramedy is the perfect description, I found myself laughing at times and frowning at times.
Shirley's character especially goes through a huge array of emotions that make her come to life. At times you want to jump in the book and hug her, which is beautifully delivered in the storyline by other characters.
Her husband Stanley is also believable as life makes him adapt and struggle. The secondary characters deliver great depth as well. It is hard to pick a favorite, I loved the artist Edna and Fletcher a character that at first reads like a shallow sex-addict delivers surprising growth as the story develops.
The books dedication says "For all the fools who never give up, no matter how many times they're told they're crazy misfits."
The story delivers beautifully a wide array of such characters. Loved it!
a funny and very entertaining story of senior citizens in Florida comically trying to recover from a Ponzi type scheme
Full of humor and recognizable places and events in South Florida. I laughed along with the characters.
Victoria Landis has written such a powerful book!! A LOT of us at the age of "should be retiring now" feel exactly what "Mack & Mitzi"
felt...PANIC!! Not enough money to live on!! NOW what do we do??
The book would be even MORE hilarious, if it were not so true!!
An up-to-date story that makes you think and enjoy the journey as you read!
This book a treasure. The cover promises a caper, and I imagined something along the line of the movie "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels." What I got was infinitely better. Landis has an ability to observe human beings and her observations have paid off with some startling characters. Yes, there is a Don Juan with a mid-life crisis, but Landis takes us inside his head in such a way that we will never look at Don Juan's the same way again. One of my favorite characters is Agnes, the septuagenerian artist with an international reputation. (Can I be here when I grow up, please?)
And let's not forget "Mitzi" and "Mack" the aliases of the main characters. Other reviewers have given complete plot spoilers, but I don't want to do that. These two characters have the greatest story arc ever, from ho-hum boring retired people to grifters of a certain kind to.... well, you have to find out. But most of all this story is a love story. All about every kind of love, including love as a commodity. A story with characters you will want to revisit more than once, so don't give your copy away when you're done!
