Reviews with content warning for Mental illness - Morden mit Maud

This is a much slower book than the previous one. These stories track the back stories of Maud and those close to her.You do have to suspend belief for some of them, since how is it the police , or guess the ME,

track that almonds was the cause of death or that the murder weapon was a cane? Does Maud rid of the cane after the murder? I assume she doesn’t take it with her to the gathering with the other travelers, but then wouldn’t that be out of character for her??

I guess since this is more about Maud and her murdering schemes, there isn’t a need to go into details for the other side. It just feels un-thrurough, for a lack of a better word. Maybe I watch too much SVU 😂

Uau quando eu pensei que esta senhora já não me pode surpreender BAM

Devo admitir que no início do livro comecei a ficar aborrecida com a ideia de more uma clara sociopata no mínimo estar a analisar os seus erros passados ou até sentir remorsos, mas a sua decisão no final foi prefeita com aquilo que sabemos dela. ADOREI o reverter da moeda e como no fundo a Maude tem sem sombrw de dúvidas uma origem sombria mas também é a consequência do seu ambiente. No final espero que ela viva o suficiente para pelo menos mais uma aventura.

I liked this one perhaps more than the first one. Definitely read the TWs but don't let them deter you too much. I'd say its HEA- even though it's about Maude. Read them in order, you won't regret it.

These short stories tell of the adventures of Maud, an elderly woman from Sweden. However, Maud isn’t as nice as we typically expect little old ladies to be. We get to follow Maud as she “solves” problems at home, and we get to follow her on her trips abroad. The stories are funny, quick, and remind you why the elderly should not be underestimated.

Maud is an intriguing character. I thought I knew who she was after the first book, but this one turned my initial thoughts upside down.
