An Elderly Lady Must Not Be Crossed is the sequel to An Elderly Lady is Up To No Good and she is definitely still up to no good. This time the elderly lady is on vacation traveling to South Africa and as she sleeps on the plane flight from England, she dreams about the past and the awful things she has done in the past. There is a certain tension as you wait to see what she will do next or if or when she will get caught for her horrible behavior. Can you applaud her because she is clever or condemn her because she has committed crimes. Do feel sorry for her because she is elderly or angry because she is devious?
A clever idea for a plot idea to have this little old lady with hearing aids and a walking stick close to ninety years old being so devious. This time she takes us back to her youth and young adult years to share the crimes of her past. As she is sits on the plane snippets of conversation remind her of things that happened years before. She always thinks strategically and seems to know all the angles so she does not get caught when she misbehaves. Could it only be a matter of time before her past catches up with her?
There is a feeling of foreboding that followed me through the book waiting for the other shoe to drop. How long can you go before your problems are uncovered. Also the elderly lady does some good deeds. Does the good outweigh the bad? Can you erase the evil with some caring and better behavior?
An entertaining book with an interesting premise .
