An Elderly Lady is Up to No Good by Helene Tursten

In this short story collection by Swedish mystery writer Tursten, we meet octogenarian Maude, who lives in a spacious apartment in Gothenburg. A former teacher, she has lived on her own since her older sister, Charlotte, died forty years ago. She spends her time travelling, going to spas, and getting revenge on those whom she thinks have wronged her. The five stories in the book show a completely different type of murderer than the regular mystery reader is used to. A short and light diversion...
