The Little Old Lady Who Struck Lucky Again by CatharinaIngelman-Sundberg


What They Say:
The little old lady is back! Martha Andersson and the League of Pensioners have left behind their dreary care home in Stockholm and headed for the bright lights of Las Vegas. 

This is their opportunity for a new lease of life and they plan to make the most of it. But before long they are up to their old tricks and with ingenious tactics, a pair of false teeth and a wheelchair each, they plot to outwit the security system at one of the biggest casinos. However, they aren't the only ones planning on stealing bucket loads of cash and soon find themselves pitted against a gang of dangerous criminals.

Can the group of elderly friends work together to outsmart the younger robbers and get away with their biggest heist yet? Or will this job be a step too far for The League of Pensioners?

What I Say:

I would like to thank Natasha Harding for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I read this as before reading the first novel, The Little Old Lady Who Broke all the Rules and although I really enjoyed this I wish I had read the first book beforehand.

Martha and her League of Pensioners are in Las Vagas out to cause chaos. Martha is a criminal mastermind and the brilliant plans she comes up with are great. I also love that these books are set around the older generation.

The pensioner’s however are very forgetful and this causes some very comic moments. The book is a great fun read and I can’t wait to read the first book in the series.  

From The Back Cover

The little old lady is back! This time, Martha Andersson and her friends - the League of Pensioners - have left behind their dreary care home in Stockholm and are enjoying the bright lights of Las Vegas.

As their antics become more and more daring, Martha and her friends head back to Sweden to continue their money-making schemes. However, they aren't the only ones planning on stealing bucket loads of cash and soon find themselves pitted against a gang of dangerous criminals.

Can the group of elderly friends work together to outsmart the younger robbers and get away with their biggest heist yet? Or will this job be a step too far for The League of Pensioners?
