"Little old lady or stone cold killer? Maud might just be a little of each. Now, for the first time ever, all eleven Elderly Lady stories-plus a brand-new adventure-come together in this long-anticipated edition featuring recipes and cross-stitch patterns. Eighty-eight-year-old Maud has lived long enough to know a little something about the importance of defending her peace. Over the years, she's managed to carve out a comfortable life for herself. She lives rent-free in the same sizable Gothenburg apartment she grew up in thanks to a hastily negotiated clause in a seventy-year-old contract, and she isn't about to move, thank you very much! Maud knows how to take care of her own, namely: herself. When her way of life is threatened, she springs into action to take care of the Problem. There have been a lot of Problems, and more than a few graves dug as a result. So far, she has managed to evade detection. After all, who would suspect a little old lady of being up to no good? Only ... suspicions are growing that Maud may not be quite as toothless as she appears. With detectives circling, will her luck finally run out?"-- Provided by publisher.
