Helene Tursten: Up to No Good: The Complete Elderly Lady Stories, Gebunden

Klappentext

**Everyone knows Maud---an irascible 88-year-old Swedish woman with no family, no friends, and . . . no qualms about a little murder. Now Maud is getting the killer treatment in this expanded collection of stories that combines all of her hijinks from An Elderly Lady Is Up to No Good and An Elderly Lady Must Not Be Crossed---and features a brand-new story.

Now in her late eighties, Maud has lived long enough to know a little something about the importance of defending her peace. Over the years, she's managed to carve out a comfortable life for herself. She lives rent-free in the same sizable Gothenburg apartment she grew up in thanks to a hastily negotiated clause in a seventy-year-old contract, and she isn't about to move, thank you very much!

Maud knows how to take care of her own, namely: herself. Whenever her way of life is threatened, she springs into action to take care of the Problem. And there have been a lot of Problems over the years, with more than a few graves dug as a result. So far, she has managed to evade detection. After all, who would suspect a little old lady of being up to no good? Only . . . suspicions are growing that Maud may not be quite as toothless as she appears. With detectives circling, will her luck finally run out?

This combined story collection brings together all of Maud's escapades---and includes a brand-new story.
