What Amazon Says:

Ever since her dralig father's untimely death when she was only eighteen, Maud has lived in the family's spacious apartment in downtown Gothenburg rent-free, thanks to a minor clause in a hastily negotiated contract. That has how maud learned that good things can come from tragedy. Now in her late 80s, Maud contents herself with traveling the worlds and surfing the net from the comfort of her father's ancient armchair. It's a solitary existence, and she likes it that way. Over the course of her adventures - or misadventures - this little bold lady will handle a crisis with a local celebrity who has her eyes on Maud's apartment, foil the engagement of her long-ago lover, and dispose of some pesky neighbors. But when the local authorities are called to investigate a dead body found in Maud's apartment, will Maud finally becoem a suspect?
This was an interesting book. I found it when looking for a book for a reading challenge. This one was very short - and I finished it within a few hours. It is a wild story. Fun read with an 88 year old woman who has the whole town fooled with her "poor little old me" story. Meanwhile, she is quite the killer. Glad I found this one.
