Up to No Good: The Complete Elderly Lady Stories

Little old lady or stone cold killer? Maud might just be a little of each. Now, for the first time ever, all eleven Elderly Lady stories—plus a brand-new adventure—come together in this long-anticipated edition featuring a bonus recipe and cross-stitch pattern.

Eighty-eight-year-old 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. When her way of life is threatened, she springs into action to take care of the Problem. There have been a lot of Problems, and 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?
