An Elderly Lady is Up to No Good, Tursten | 173 pages

    It's like a murder mystery, with no mystery... just Maud. Translated from the Swedish, this collection of short stories stars 88yo Maud who lives rent-free in a posh apartment in Gothensburg when she isn't traveling the world.
    I'll be honest, I could hardly put it down, but I'm not entirely sure I liked it! Tursten has a very dry, very dark sense of humor. I'm reminded of Fredrik Bachman's "Your Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry," also translated from Swedish.
