I listened to this title in one sitting, and I cannot wait to get my hands on its sequel. An Elderly Lady is Up To No Good was both shocking and hilarious. If you are a fan of lovable antagonists, interwoven short story collections, or just a good murder mystery, this is a title that you should try!

3 star: Average, easy to read, quick, and fun. Maud is an MVP. Short story compilations are not my go-to, but this was enjoyable.

4 short stories about a little old lady who just happens to also be a stone cold murderer. Hilarious.

This was so much fun to read and so funny! I was not expecting what I read when I first picked up the book. It's a silly and light-hearted series of stories that I enjoyed greatly. I also LOVED the tiny size of this book. It was the perfect pocketbook. I have been needing a pick-me-up read, and this was PERFECT
