First a woman in her building met an untimely end: tragic. Then just recently a dead body mysteriously appeared in her very own apartment prompting an investigation by the local Gothenburg authorities. Such a strange coincidence. When it seems suspicion has fallen on her little old lady that she is Maud decides to skip town and splurges on a trip to South Africa for herself. In these six interlocking stories memories of unfortunate incidents from Mauds past keep bubbling to the surface each triggered by something in the present: an image a word even a taste. When she lands in Johannesburg at last eager to move on from the bloody ordeal last summer she finds certain problems seem to be following her. Luckily Maud is no stranger to taking matters into her own hands . . . even if it means she has to get a little blood on them in the process.Dont let her age fool you. Maud may be nearly ninety but this elderly lady still has a few tricks before shes ready to call it quits.*Includes cookie recipes*
