What a romp! Don\u2019t let this sweet face fool you, or you\u2019ll be taken in by Maud. Imagine an innocent-looking older woman who is also a serial killer. Naughty doesn\u2019t begin to describe her and the antics she\u2019s involved in. At 88, Maud has no friends or family and seems to like it that way. She has no tolerance for fools and no qualms about expressing her opinion nor acting on impulse. Wily, crafty Maud isn\u2019t above feigning feeblemindedness to get what she wants. Will the authorities never learn? Told in short vignettes laced with subtle, black humor, the chapters are best savored one at a time. This tiny gem of a book\u2014184 pages\u2014is for anyone who has been underestimated and prevailed. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
