The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules by Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg
2.0

This was somewhere between "just okay" and "disappointing." I felt like I didn't know where the story was going after the first third of the book or so - not in a pleasant way that made me excited to continue, but in a way where I felt the book kept going beyond the natural and expected end-point. The way it *actually* ended also didn't feel like it tied up many of the loose ends the author had in the story, as several characters' arcs end more or less with the author shrugging and moving on to talk more about the pensioners.

Besides those notes, I've also read a few different iterations of "a book where at least one elderly person gets up to shenanigans involving the police" in the past few years, and this one was my least favorite of those by quite a measure.
