Small book (about twice the size of my phone) with 5 short stories. Clever and the translator did a good job.

2.5 out of 5 stars

This collection of short stories all follow the same template for set up- old lady complains about something awful in her life, she makes a connection with some body who is less than perfect, she gets annoyed, she kills them, and then gets away with it. The only one I really enjoyed was the one not written in her POV. Honestly, I don’t know if I want to read the other in the collection just to prove this hypothesis or to mark a series as finished. Either way it’s not because it’s good 😂

I am liking the genre of elderly lady killers 😆 I like how some of these kills were that they annoyed her, but also that the victim deserved it-
aka the lawyer 👏
I did not understand why
she decided to kill the antique dealer. Is it cause she knew he was gonna swindle her of her antiques?

Deveras peculiar mas não exatamente meu estilo, mas como o segundo livro é curtinho acho que eu vou ler ele também
