AN ELDERLY LADY IS UP TO NO GOOD

 Helene Tursten. AN ELDERLY LADY IS UP TO NO GOOD. Soho, 2018. Translated from Danish.

A library book borrowed from a reader friend. The title says it all. And explains what I do not like about the book. Not interested in the motives behind crime, attempts to justify. The title character, Maud, has a large apartment in a building her family previously sold. She has interactions with neighbours and local businessmen. She travels. She can feign dementia. She is impulsive. Not anyone I would want to live near. Or become.
