This was a delightfully dark and entertaining quick read. It’s a collection of short stories that are interconnected snapshots of Maud’s adventures as a elderly murderess. The title had caught my eye at the library & I borrowed it, expecting bad ass old lady shenanigans which it delivered. Imagine if Jessica Fletcher had decided to commit murders instead of solving them and she was a no-nonsense Swedish loner instead. I will be checking out the next collection of stories on my next library visit.
