Query: Ageism Reigns!

I read a previous Allen Quaker mystery, "Quaker Witness", and enjoyed it though I found her repeated reference's to Elizabeth Elliot's age annoying. "Quaker Indictment"'s ageism is much worse. The two main characters met in college 40 years ago--therefore they are in their early 60s. Yet Allen repeatedly calls Elliot "the old Quaker". In the library copy I read, a previous reader circled some of the "old Quaker" references and why, "Why is 60 old?". Indeed, Ms. Allen, why do you characterize her as "old" so often? How old are you? Perhaps to you 60 seems the apex of decripitude. But the incoming Speaker of the House is 66; would Allen call Nancy Pelosi "an old Speaker"? I chide Allen's editor for not recognizing the ageism and correcting it. The story as a whole is not well done and the characters do not develop. It hardly deserves one star.
