From the way people talk about this book, I was expecting something similar to the classic Arsenic and Old Lace (which I loved) and was looking forward to reading the book because of that. Unfortunately, I did not end up liking this book as much as I thought I would. While plot was cute and there were some funny parts, I found the main character to be very petty and unlikeable. I also thought that the sexual innuendos throughout each story, while minor, were unnecessary and actually a bit distracting to the plot.
Moderate: Murder and Blood
Minor: Sexual content and Cursing

Not for me. I disliked the main character and it was boring.

3.0
Quirky little collection of short stories about an old lady who kills anyone who crosses her and then uses her sweet old lady persona to get away with it. Nothing groundbreaking but the stories were pretty fun.
Graphic: Blood, Death, Domestic abuse, Murder, and Violence
Moderate: Alcoholism
Minor: Child death, Death of parent, Dementia, and Sexual content
