The most charming serial killer you’ll never suspect, a relaxing lighthearted, and bloodthirsty short read about a little old lady who is up to no good at all.

Well written and darkly comedic, possibly just not my vibe though.
Tells the story of... well.. title says it all really.

Thematically this is a story of revenge and spite, and leaning hard into the Ageism that paints elderly women as powerless little-old-biddies who don't have all their faculties.
I found the humour hilarious when it was implicit, but a little frustrating when I would get a joke and then it was spelled out explicitly afterwards.

Maybe this woman is like a dowager Dexter. I wouldn't want to cross her!

DNF after the first short story. Partly the issue was that this is not what I wanted to read. I wanted to read a Christmas murder mystery. This is not a mystery because we know whodunnit from the start. But mostly, I found Maude to be one-dimensional. I didn't need her to be likeable, just interesting. I just didn't care for her.
