Nobody messes with Grandma.
Ethel Montgomery is seventy-nine years old. She bakes cookies every Tuesday, runs the church bingo, and keeps a .38 revolver next to the butter dish.
For fifty years she has run the city of Ashbury the way her father repaired watches — quietly, precisely, using the least force that will do the job. Nobody knows. That's the point. You don't win a fight in the fight. You win it three days earlier, at a kitchen table, with a legal pad and enough coffee.
Then a bank manager steals her grandson's college fund.
It's a small theft. A stupid one. And it introduces Wallace Langley — and every man standing behind him — to the most dangerous woman on the eastern seaboard: a grandmother who has spent five decades being underestimated by men who all made the same mistake exactly once.
What begins with a missing college fund becomes a war.
A bingo hall full of seniors becomes an ambush. A professional killer learns that the harmless old woman in the dark corner is not furniture. An honest detective discovers that someone has gift-wrapped him a case, and starts wondering who sharpened the knife. And forty floors above the city, a patient man named Dominic Graves — who has been reading Ethel's mail for longer than she realized — decides the tidiest way to take a city is to burn the one thing its grandmother loves.
He's about to find out what she buries.
Tommy came to his grandmother's house for his college fund.
He's going to leave with an education.
GRANDMA KNOWS BEST is a crime comedy about baking, bingo, knitting needles, and the quiet art of making sure everyone at the table is still breathing when dinner ends. Perfect for readers who like their mobsters elderly, their violence deeply inconvenient, and their grandmothers absolutely terrifying. Book One of the Grandma Knows Best series.
The story continues in GRANDMA KNOWS BEST BUT NONNA KNOWS BETTER.
