An elderly lady uses murder to solve life's basic annoyances, flying under the radar as they appear to be accidents and mishaps, in Helene Tursten's darkly comic short story collection aptly titled An Elderly Lady is Up to No Good.
Tursten is the author of a solid police procedural series featuring Swedish detective Irene Huss (who makes a brief appearance here). By contrast, this slender collection is relatively breezy, especially by the inky-black standards of Scandinavian noir.
But I enjoyed it as a quick read, and would recommend it to anyone wanting to dip a toe into the shallower end of Scandinavian mysteries.
I checked this out from the Morrisson-Reeves Public Library in Richmond, Indiana and read it quickly.
