deliciously noir short story collection . . . Tursten takes readers deep
inside Maudâ€s head as she plots the demise of anyone who crosses her .
. . Hereâ€s hoping Tursten brings back the flinty homicidal
octogenarian for more adventures.―—Tina Jordan, The New York Times
“Witty . . . All pay the ultimate price for outraging this dangerous
octogenarian. Will the police ever realize that sweet, frail, confused
old Maud is in fact sharp as a tack and just as ruthless?―—The Wall
Street Journal'Eighty-eight-year-old Maud, a Swedish cult favorite,
freely dispatches greedy neighbors, selfish lovers, and potential
thieves in four linked stories that push elderly empowerment to grimly
funny heights in this Swedish cult favorite.'—The Boston Globe
“This elderly lady stops at nothing in her desire for a peaceful
existence. I ought to feel guilty for enjoying her crimes, but I don't.
The stories are written with such persuasive logic and delicious irony
that I want the killing to continue indefinitely.― —Peter Lovesey,
Mystery Writers of America Grand Master “Darkly engaging . . . The
murders Maud pulls off are meticulously plotted and executed, and one of
the pleasures of the stories lies in watching Maud in action.―—The
Toronto Star “The juxtaposition of the way Maud presents in the world,
as elderly, somewhat frail, and what she is capable of doing when she is
thwarted makes for a really intriguing read that is often laugh out loud
funny.―—Lily Bartel, WAMC's The Roundtable “A petite, deliciously
dry set of short stories . . . grab this one as a stocking-stuffer for
the mystery lover on your list.―—The News & ObserverÂ
“Deliciously dark . . . Imagine a ticked-off Miss Marple with the
conscience of Patricia Highsmith's Ripley and the cold-blooded
pragmatism of Jack Reacher.―—Mystery Scene Magazine “Relying on the
invisibility of age, using her walkers as a weapon, and seeming dementia
as a defense, Maud systematically eliminates all annoyances . . .
delightful.―—Deadly Pleasures“Delightfully grim and howlingly funny
. . . Maudâ€s no apple-cheeked little Granny.―—Quad City Times
“A series of darkly comic stories.―—Petoskey News-Review
“For a twist on the genre, read this delightful anthology of five
short stories revolving around an octogenarian protagonist named Maud.
The plots will leave you enthralled and keep you entertained, and the
translation from the Swedish original reads flawlessly . . . Enjoy the

advantages of aging from a comfortable distance, knowing the blood is
fake and the victims are figments of Turstenâ€s lively imagination.―
—The Beacon“Helene Turstenâ€s writing is a pleasure to read.
Despite the dark nature of the stories, the book is full of humor, and
highlights the way that many elderly people are ignored by society as
being senile or incapable, something Maud fully uses to her
advantage.―—The Times-News “Tursten is best known for the hardboiled
Detective Inspector Irene Huss series of novels. However, the
comic twists and turns she delivers in this compact collection are
equally engrossing. Unassuming, murderous Maud—with her devious,
pseudo-innocent charm—makes these concise stories wickedly funny and
addictively readable.―—Shelf Awareness “Maud is the petty, take-noprisoners
grandmother we all wish we had.―—K99 Radio “A succinct
treatise on how to get away with murder. This is a terrific little
dollop of crime. Just beware of the little old lady who lives upstairs.―
—Washington Independent Review of Books “The perfect size for
stowing in your handbag with your hard candies and spare garrote wire.―
—Literary Hub “If youâ€re into crime stories, dark humor, and want
it centered around an octogenarian, run to this collection.―—Book Riot
“Dark, irreverent, and hilariously funny.―—Booklist, Starred
Review “Exceptional . . . Readers will be amused by how sharp-as-atack
Maud plays the forgetful, fuzzy-brained old lady to achieve her
ends.―—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review “A juicy dose of
senior justice. The book is pure fun.― —Kirkus Reviews  “A
wonderful discovery . . . Who knew the grim Swedish crime school
included a writer this merry . . . and merciless?―—The Shawangunk
Journal “A satirical warning against the perils of ageism.―
—Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine“Morbid, mysterious, and
outrageously funny...this collection is a wonderful example of the more
uproarious side of Scandinavian Noir, one that doesnâ€t often reach our
shores and should be savored when it does.―—CrimeReads“A
masterclass in concise and sharp characte
