I am liking the genre of elderly lady killers 😆 I like how some of these kills were that they annoyed her, but also that the victim deserved it-
aka the lawyer 👏
I did not understand why
she decided to kill the antique dealer. Is it cause she knew he was gonna swindle her of her antiques?

A small book with short, funny, entertaining stories about a octagenarian serial killer who just wants people to stay off her turf. This old lady was definitely up to no good but I was, oddly, rooting for he the entire time. I'll definitely recommend it to patrons looking for a quick read.

Such a fun read about a serial killer octogenarian who is just trying to enjoy her retirement.

This book is so wonderfully dark and humorous. The short collection is a perfect way to clear your head after reading a long series and before commiting to something new. Maud is essentially just what would happen if our inner thoughts actually had controlled and I loved every minute of it.

If you are looking for a character that is half Robert Durst half the tea pot from bueaty and the beast, look no further.
