An Elderly Lady Is Up to No Good by Helene Tursten

4.0

A collection of five short stories about an intriguing old lady named Maude. She has lived in her large apartment all her life, and does so rent-free, thanks to a contractual agreement made when her father passed away. Each story is a small glimpse into Maude's world. One would not think such a slight old woman who has all she could want would be in need to murder. But as each story shows, one does what one must to protect what one loves and care for. This was such a good and quick read. I found myself getting lost in Maude’s world and at times feeling as though perhaps she was a bit justified in her actions. Filled with dark humor and unique plots I highly recommend this to any fan of murder and mystery.
