Critics Review
Praise for the Elderly Lady stories
“Deliciously noir … Tursten takes readers deep inside Maud’s head as she plots the demise of anyone who crosses her … Here’s hoping Tursten brings back the flinty homicidal octogenarian for more adventures.”
—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.”
—The Boston Globe
“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
