Title: tedious and profane
Review: I found the main character annoying and unbelivable, as she appears much too clever. Maybe if she solved her crimes completely by accident it would be believable, but outsmart the police? It is also somewhat offensive to make fun of the things she does--the senility and forgetfulness in old age, joking and laughing about death and funerals. The sense of humor is an attempt at being silly but it is offensive. Living in this kind of environment where one is losing friends and family to death, the loneliness and sadness found there, is a topic and setting of bad taste. My guess is the author herself does not live under such circumstances, but when she does, maybe she won't make jokes about it anymore. Just another example of how people in our society take lightly and joke about things that should be taken seriously.
