Maud really is up to no good, as the title suggests. Whenever someone seems to think about crossing Maud in anyway -
whether they want to switch apartments with her or undervalue her silver
- she kills them before they get the chance. This book is really amusing, but not quite laugh-out-loud funny. It's really short (<200 pages and the pages are small), so it's not a huge commitment. I will be lending this book to friends and family to enjoy.
