This book was short but oh, so funny. An Elderly Lady Is Up To No Good was written by Helene Tursten and translated from Norwegian to English by Marlaine Delargy. The story is set in Oslo when an elderly lady has an apartment free from rent in a large apartment building. This rent free deal was made when her father died which was 60 years ago. No one thought she would stay in the apartment this long. At first she lived with her mother and her older sister. She supported them by working. When they both died she took in boarders for many years saving her money to have enough to live on in her retirement years. She has enough money to not only get by but to travel the world. She does love to travel. Now she is 88 years old. She has no family and no friends. She is smart and creative and devious and she lives her life to the fullest. Normally I don't like crime books but I liked this one.
