Maud is 88 years old and just wants peace and quiet. She lives alone, travels extensively, and is comfortable with her life. But when someone disturbs or bothers her, watch out! This is a collection of short stories, so can feel a little disjointed. The stories are on the dark side, but they’re a quick and easy read and you’ll delight (and even understand) Maud’s warped reasons why someone has to die.
