The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules by Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg
2.0
funny lighthearted slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

There were a lot of fun parts about this book with the snowball effect of old people committing crime, but I think a lot of the thrill got a little bit lost in translation.  I think there was a decent cast of main characters and antagonists, but I feel like we didn’t get enough time to spend with them to really break past the surface level of characteristic and personality traits. Also, somehow the plot felt both slow-moving and fast-paced at the same time, which is a new thing for me to experience (and didn’t hate).
