About this listen
Don't let her age fool you. Maud may be nearly 90, but if you cross her, this elderly lady is more sinister than sweet.
Just when things have finally cooled down for 88-year-old Maud after the disturbing discovery of a dead body in her apartment in Gothenburg, a couple of detectives return to her doorstep. Though Maud dodges their questions with the skill of an Olympic gymnast a fifth of her age, she wonders if suspicion has fallen on her, little old lady that she is. The truth is, ever since Maud was a girl, death has seemed to follow her.
In these six interlocking stories, memories of unfortunate incidents from Maud's past keep bubbling to the surface. Meanwhile, certain problems in the present require immediate attention. Luckily, Maud is no stranger to taking matters into her own hands...even if it means she has to get a little blood on them in the process.

Pleasant.
I think the second book wasn't as good as the first, maybe if I'd have waited a bit before listening to it it would have been better. The second half I enjoyed more.
As a South African, I had to laugh at the pronunciations, boerewors especially, but also a few of the animals. I'd definitely be laughed at if I attempted Swedish....

Sadly not an 'old-lady mystery' as advertised
So very strange: This book actually has 'elderly lady' in the title. So imagine my surprise, when it turned out that - while chapter 1 seemed indeed an introduction to a cosy 'old lady crime story' - what followed were hours of 'kid retrospective'. Not just a quick flashback, but hours of telling us about the time the protagonist was a child. (I haven't listened to those chapters,, as I'm not interested in them.)
Only 2 hours before the end, we are back with the cosy old lady mystery. At least, that was my initial hope... but alas: while we are back with the old lady, what we are now told a story about her being on some holiday. No connection with the crime described in the beginning. Why? This is is quite ridiculous, really.
Narrator: well done, but she can't save the story, unfortunately.
