The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel meets The Italian Job in internationally-bestselling author Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg's witty and insightful comedy of errors about a group of delinquent seniors whose desire for a better quality of life leads them to rob and ransom priceless artwork.

Martha Andersson may be seventy-nine-years-old and live in a retirement home, but that doesn't mean she's ready to stop enjoying life. So when the new management of Diamond House starts cutting corners to save money, Martha and her four closest friends-Brains, The Rake, Christina and Anna-Gretta (a.k.a. The League of Pensioners)-won't stand for it. Fed up with early bedtimes and overcooked veggies, this group of feisty seniors sets about to regain their independence, improve their lot, and stand up for seniors everywhere. The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules is a delightful and heartwarming novel that goes to prove the adage that it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years.

From recent mixed Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "is about a group of elderly residents in a retirement home who decide to pull off heists and search for a more promising "future"! I honestly feel like this would make a fun movie. At times, some things felt a little illogical, but overall, it was a light, entertaining, and fun read."; "A little too unbelievable. I did like the characters though, and their 'old people are capable' motto."; "Definitely the dark side of comedy!"; "Certainly one of the most entertaining books I have read in a long time - this was fun."
