Length: ~9 hours.
Narrator: Hannah Fredericksen, Jenny Seedsman.
Genre: Women’s Fiction
From The Publisher:
There are two kinds of people no one ever expects to be: little girls and old ladies.
Elsie Mabel Fitzpatrick is eighty-one years old. She’s lived on her idyllic street for sixty years—longer than anyone else. Aside from being a curmudgeon who minds everyone else’s business, few would suspect that Elsie has a past she’s worked exceedingly hard at concealing—because when it comes to murder, no one ever suspects little girls or old ladies. And Elsie Mabel Fitzpatrick, once a little girl and now an old lady, has a strange history of people in her life coming to a foul end.
Why I Can’t Wait To Read Mad Mabel:
I’ve enjoyed this author’s other books, and this synopsis has definitely piqued my interest. I’m really curious to learn more about Elsie’s past.

It is a bit of a wait (Oct) but I can’t wait for the next book in Louise Penny’s Chief Inspector Gamache series. My Gramma got me into the series and she has since passed(2024), so I always look forward to the yearly release. As a Canadian Three Pines is like home
