De fragiel ogende 88-jarige Maud laat niet met zich sollen en neemt soms het recht in eigen handen. Leuk om lezen. Miss Marple aan de overkant van het mysterie.

Really fun collection of short stories about exactly what the title implies. Probably will be especially enjoyable to my fellow old(ish) ladies, but recommend it to everyone.

Unexpected, dark and hilarious, not to mention a wee treatise on how others view and dismiss the elderly- it turns out, at their peril.

Irene Huss and her colleagues in Göteborg’s murder investigation unit must unravel the complex circumstances surrounding related murders. The murder victims are all connected by business and/or family ties to an internet company that crashed when the dot com bubble burst, enriching its founders at the expense of its investors. One survivor knows more than she is telling, and Irene and her partner search for a way to persuade her to talk. Meanwhile, Irene is distressed by some personal news shared by her partner and best friend, Tommy.

In some ways, this is the best book in the series so far. Irene’s domestic life didn’t distract from the murder investigation. Her husband, twin daughters, and dog made limited appearances in this book. The audio reader does a nice job with the narration and dialogue. I wish my library had more of this series available in audio format. There were some enjoyable scenes in a hospital near the end of the book. My other favorite in the series had a hospital setting, so perhaps the medical scene is a familiar one for the author. The ending is spoiled when the tension peaks to early and the investigation concludes with a long briefing (i.e. information dump) from an FBI officer.
