BooksInMirror | Feb 19, 2024 |  At the end of the first book the group had fled Stockholm in order to lie low after several daring thefts. Spending time in Las Vegas they got an idea to steal from one of the casinos so they they had to leave there. They were homesick so they went back to Sweden with some diamonds they had come across hidden in a cane. Unfortunately they lost the cane (this is a recurring problem for them) and their casino money was soon gone too. And it appeared that most of that had ended up in the hands of a firm of lawyers who were tasked with laundering the money for a police detective who had figured out how to scoop the funds. So, of course, the League of Pensioners had to plan another robbery. This time they chose to rob a bank while it was closed. They pulled that off but they knew the money would be traceable so they had to figure out how to exchange it. In the interim the money was stored in two mannequins that had been used in the robbery. In keeping with their usual luck, one of the mannequins was taken by some members of a biker gang who lived next door. Eventually the group figured out how to get their casino money and their diamonds back but then they had to go into hiding again. This time they stayed in Sweden; no doubt the next book will see them emerge from their hidey-hole again.

The return to Sweden, buy a house next door to some bikers and yadda, yadda, yadda. Not only was I bored, I didn't find them funny not did I even like them as people. (  ) Auntie-Nanuuq | Apr 8, 2021 | This is the sort of book you can curl up on the couch and read for a lazy Sunday afternoon. You won't need tissues, or counselling afterwards. It is a happy, easy, amusing read. But it did make you think about how society treats its elderly. A healthy cast of characters, with a good gender split, although the main character is Martha, the leader of this merry band of modern day Robin Hoods. Happy to give this book 5 stars. I highly recommend it. (  ) Kiwimrsmac | Nov 29, 2017 |  Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.These people could be anyone’s grandpa and grandma if it weren’t for Martha Andersson. She masterminds every plan and the others help with implementation. When they find all the monies they have deposited in various charities and nursing homes has not been used as they had stipulated; the group, now called Outlaw Oldies, gains the attention of some wanna-be bikers up the hill from their new home back in Sweden. A visit to the Oldie gang is hysterically written and the book follows in the4 same manner. Geriatric criminals, bikers of little brains and Sweden itself make this a great story for anyone with a sense of humor or who wishes they had one! A bit draggy in places it's a good read!

In the sequel to internationally-bestselling Swedish author Catharina Ingelman-Sundbergs The Little Old Lady Who Broke All The Rules, the League of Pensioners are up to their old tricks, this time swindling the biggest Vegas casinos, outsmarting a gang of young robbers, and evading the Swedish police in the name of elderly pensioners everywhere. Perfect for fans of A Man Called Ove and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas unless you're in the League of Pensioners! Martha Andersson and her friends are at it again. Having left behind their restrictive senior home in Stockholm, the gang is off to make it big in the bright lights and big money of The Strip. Armed with electric wheelchairs and some well-placed helium balloons, Martha, The Genius, The Rake, Christina, and Anna-Gretta are ready to take a Vegas casino for all its worth, cashing in on their new favorite pastime: white collar crime. But they aren't the only ones looking to outsmart Vegas security systems. The League finds itself inadvertently mired in a diamond robbery and face to face with a gang of young but dangerous criminals. Working together, they may have gotten the jewels and cash through airport security, but now that they're back home will, they be able to outfox the robbers and keep the Swedish police at bay? Or will this be one heist too many for the League of Pensioners? This clever, witty, and devilishly fun sequel to The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules delights and probes by turns, and reminds us that were never too old for a little mischief.
