COFFEE AND ROBBERY - Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg

COFFEE AND ROBBERY

”Very imaginative, fun and filled with gallows humor!” Katarina Mazetti

It all started with singing. They all sang in the retirement home The Diamond’s chorus - Martha, The Genius, The Rake, Stina and Anna-Greta. Since new owners took over the The Diamond, life had turned very dull. Bad food and a dreary attitude, lack of exercise and constant savings. They would probably be much better off in jail!

Martha gets an idea – they shall commit a crime that will ensure conviction. Some type of financial crime, a small coup of some sort. They will give whatever they get to the poor and elderly. If Robin Hood could, so could they!

Supported by their walkers, the gang make their first attempt in the luxury hotel where there are plenty of wealthy people. But things do not turn out as planned. To succeed, they think of the perfect crime. The adventure takes off. Soon they find themselves – the Senior League – entangled in the underworld and now anything can happen.

Reviews:

"What I like most with Coffee and Robbery is its shining expression of how joyous life is. It is not dangerous to grow old if you are like Märtha and the gang."
Hyllan, blogg

"It is a lighthearted and enjoyable detective comedy, very cozy."

"This book is a real jewel. I love the old men and women in the senior league, what great characters! It's fun, hilarious, and several times I hold my breath and worry about Martha and the crew when they put themselves in tricky situations. I hope this is just the first of a number of book about the senior league because I definitely want to read more adventures with Martha, The Genius, The Rake, Stina and Anna-Greta."

"The style is driven, the plot skillfully vowen and you read with excitement and rising good humor until the surprising end. As a reader you find yourself to be totally loyal to the proposed elders in their new amoral life."
