Summary
Maud is an irascible eighty-eight-year-old Swedish woman with no family, no friends, and . . . no qualms about a little murder. This funny, irreverent story collection by Helene Tursten, author of the Irene Huss Investigation series, features two-never-before translated stories that will keep you laughing all the way to the retirement home.

Ever since her darling father's untimely death when she was only eighteen, Maud has lived in the family's spacious apartment in downtown Gothenburg rent-free, thanks to a minor clause in a hastily negotiated contract. That was how Maud learned that good things can come from tragedy. Now in her late eighties, Maud contents herself with traveling the world and surfing the net from the comfort of her father's ancient armchair. It's a solitary existence, and she likes it that way.

Over the course of her adventures-or misadventures-this little bold lady will handle a crisis with a local celebrity who has her eyes on Maud's apartment, foil the engagement of her long-ago lover, and dispose of some pesky neighbors. But when the local authorities are called to investigate a dead body found in Maud's apartment, will Maud finally become a suspect?

I enjoyed the mystery of the story line. The narrator was awesome. I liked the way Maude told her story. Great Book. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Here’s a fun collection of murder romps for those of us who are entertained by deadly, dignified retribution. I can relate to our smart elderly gal who takes matters into her own hands.

Fun collection of short stories, whimsical and dark at once. They follow a similar format to each and are simple and easy to listen to. Probably not something I would read twice but was good for a long drive.
