January's Middletown Book for Discussion: An Elderly Lady is Up to No Good (January 3)

The MUM Book Discussion group will next meet on Friday, January 3.  Our title is An Elderly Lady is Up to No Good by Helene Tursten. Here is a brief summary:

"Maud is an irascible 88-year-old Swedish woman with no family, no friends, and... no qualms about a little murder. Ever since her darling father's untimely death when she was only eighteen, Maud has lived in the family's spacious apartment in downtown Gothenburg rent-free, thanks to a minor clause in a hastily negotiated contract. It's a solitary existence, and she likes it that way. But when the local authorities are called to investigate a dead body found in Maud's apartment, will Maud finally become a suspect?"  (publisher)

Here is where you can find the book:

• There are several copies available in Miami, OhioLINK, and SearchOhio libraries.  
  
• Amazon has the hardcover, paperback, and Kindle available, and Bookshop.org has links to purchase the title from independent booksellers.
