    Not the Person You Want to Room with at the Senior Center
  

*by N***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2019*

Ms. Tursten's novel is a very interesting piece of work. It's not for everyone, but if you've spent a good deal of time around the elderly (or, perhaps, are elderly yourself), you might enjoy it. Tursten is Swedish, and I periodically like to read translated novels because of word usage and language patterns. I see words and sentences in a different way after reading a book like Ms. Tursten's.This actually is a short collection of stories about an older lady named Maud. Maud's issue is that she keeps killing people and getting away with it. The book is short, so a quick, guilty pleasure in the sense of wanting to read more to see how Maud misbehaves the next time.As I said, not for everyone, but refreshing in a macabre sort of way.

    A short look at a murdering LOL...
  

*by G***L on Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2019*

If you were a little ol' Swedish lady, living rent free in a sweet apartment in Gothenburg, and with all your marbles at the age of 92, what would drive you to commit a murder? And if one murder, why not, say, four murders? That's the story in Swedish author Helene Tursten's new book of short stories, "An Elderly Lady is Up to No Good". Maud, our murdering heroine dispatches four people, all four of whom really needed dispatching.Tursten's book is a short one, and beautifully translated by Marlaine Delargy. The four short stories equal one book that leaves the reader a bit off-sides as we contemplate our mother, or our grandmother - or hell, even ourselves! - pushing a nasty neighbor down the stairs to her death. As the reader meets Maud and accompanies her on her murder spree, we're rooting for the Gothenburg police to discount old Maud as the doer of the deeds of death.  You'll have to read the book to see what happens, but Tursten's book is a delightful, if not a bit disquieting, read.And if you enjoy Tursten's novel, take a look at the books of British//Italian author Tim Parks, including "Painting Death", where the protagonist has married and murdered his way up the social ladder.

    A bit of mirth
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2018*

Being a gentleman in my early 80s I probably had reasons enough to enjoy the naughty adventures of Maud.I read it in one sitting and enjoyed the easy going but slightly grotesque tales. A fun read.
