What is it about little old women behaving badly that makes for such fun reading? (Maybe the ‘unexpected-ness’ of it all?) This author, who has a popular police procedural series out had the idea to write from the view of the person doing the murders (and why) and An Elderly Lady Is Up To No Good was the result! A collection of stories, it’s short, and a quick, fun read! Author is Helene Tursten, and Marlaine DeLargy did the translation.

Lady Gold, make that Mrs. Ginger Reed now, was enjoying the gathering after a boat race on the Thames between rival universities when a young man drops dead. The medical examiner determined it was death by drowning. How can this be? I learned something new in Murder at the Boat Club, by Lee Strauss! Ginger is now married and I love that she and her husband have decided to work together, and how. Turns out, not all the members of the crew team are friends, or even like each other that much, so just what was the motive for murder (there are several options)? Another great addition to the Ginger Gold Mystery Series. :-)
