Maud, an octogenarian with a penchant for solitude and a sharp wit, navigates life's twists with a unique moral compass, often finding herself enmeshed in situations that walk a fine line between dark humor and crime. In this collection of stories, we're invited into her world in downtown Gothenburg, where she deals with uninvited guests, a greedy celebrity, spurned lovers, and annoying neighbors in her own lethal way. As bodies start to appear, the question arises: is Maud a mere witness, or is she orchestrating a symphony of demise? The charm of these tales lies not just in the pleasure of the crime, but in understanding how Maud rationalizes her unorthodox solutions to life's irritations.
