    About this audiobook

    In the sequel to internationally-bestselling Swedish author Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg’s 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 it’s 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 we’re never too old for a little mischief.

      Super cute stories-I love the characters. Sometimes there are some plot holes but I love her characters enough that I can get past it. Fun to glimpse life in Sweden.

      This is the second book in the League of Pensioners series, a fun take on crime as committed by a group of senior citizens. Nordic noir this isn't. 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.

      I know this is supposed to be as funny & entertaining as the "100 year Old Man", but I didn't think so.5 Swedish pensioners go to Las Vegas, rob a casino, happen across a cache of stolen diamonds, transfer the $$$$ to help both the Police Pension Fund & the Pensioners' Home... but something goes awry!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.

      This book is a sequel to The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules. It continues to follow the League of Pensioners to Las Vegas where they are set up quite nicely in a class hotel. But, as things often do, the group gets bored and plan out several heists. They decide to steal two pieces of art and ransom them back to the museum. They also rob a casino using their zimmer frames (walkers).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!

      A group of Swedish pensioners escape to Las Vegas as they are wanted by the Swedish police for an earlier robbery. They commit another crime in Vegas, then head back to Sweden, where they become involved with more crimes. Slow-moving, especially at the beginning, and not as funny as I had hoped from the title. 2nd in a series, I did not read the first.

      For me this book dragged on and on. I found the story farfetched and unbelievable. The only reason I finished this book was because I won it from Library Thing and I felt I had an obligation to give the book a fair shot.

      This is the second in a series. I got it from Library Thing by request.It seems there is a 'gang' of seniors who call themselves The League of Pensioners and they have managed to pull of a number of crimes. Mostly robberies of some substantial sums. They consider themselves to be 'Robin Hood' types for the senior citizens of Sweden, their home country. The money they steal is given to the senior homes to provide a better quality of life.This time finds them in Las Vegas trying to outsmart the security systems. Mission accomplished, money stashed where they can access it by computer to make transfers to do their good, they head home. But when they arrive they find that the money has disappeared! On top of that, the lovely old house they have chosen to live in has a biker gang members next door. The bikers are not the smartest but they are ones to be wary of as they are on the dangerous side.Even though the League are home, they are no idle. Trying to find where their money has gone and planning more crimes and pulling them off, managing not to be discovered by the police and getting along with their neighbours keep them busy.Martha the planner, Brains the inventor of remarkable things, Christine, Rake and Anna-Greta are not the little old ladies and men you think of. They are quite devilish and clever and refuse to just sit back and get old. Did I mention the stolen diamonds they some how end up with?A fun read that will bring smiles.

      The Little Old Lady, Martha Andersson and her gang of escapees from Swedish retirement home call themselves the League of Pensioners and steal from the rich and attempt to give to those in need. Unfortunately the Oldies Outlaw can not hold on to the spoils of crime; they find diamonds and lose them, steal from a Las Vegas casino and the funds become lost in transferring, money from a bank heist are stolen from their biker neighbors and money from a crime in the first novel is lost in the pipes of a hotel.You can not help but love this spirited group of senior citizens who have their hearts in the right place by wanting to fund homeless shelters, retirement homes, schools, libraries, and museums and etc. Sweden is a country with socialize heath care and education but like USA the politicians are corrupt and always looking to full their own pockets. The novel is a fun read especially if you are a senior citizen.

      I suppose I was expecting a book along the lines of [Sadie Shapiro's Knitting Book]--you know--FUNNY.Instead I found this book: Repetitious. Glamorizing Pollyanna Robin Hood schemes. Slow. The only reason for it being on any best seller list is that someone thought it warranted an English translation, which opened doors.Older people do deserve better care than they get. Committing crimes to finance that care cannot be funny. And it isn't. Yet, I kept reading. When the English translation was a bit off (auto correct strikes again?), I still kept reading. So, I bumped my rating up half a star. 3.5 stars

      The Little Old Lady Wbo Struck Lucky Again!" A Novel bu Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg was difficult to struggle through. I did enjoy the first 150 pages which were full of humor and unexpected twists but from then on I got very tried of the old people's group goal of being a "reverse Robin Hood. Just when I felt that they surely had enough heists under their belt Margaret, the leader, would be planning another one and then another one.I enjoyed that the very people who were supposed to be investigaitong her got caught up with the money. I kept hoping for things to change but they didn't. There were some enjoyable quirky characters but after a while, it after robbery after robbery the book continued to the end. I now wish that I have given up on the book before it was finished.I received an Advanced Reading Copy finished this book as a win from Library Thing from the publisher but that in no way determined my thoughts or feelings in this review
    • 4/5
      Martha Anderson strikes again! A great read for everyone who read THE LITTLE OLD LADY WHO BROKE ALL THE RULES. If anything, the sequel is even better than the first one. Martha and her gang have moved out of the seniors home and are on a real crime spree. It's a comedy of errors and it ends perfectly.

      I am ready to join this group! What a fun ride with 5 Swedish pensioners who have escaped the old folks home by applying skill and intelligence to robbery clothed in a Robin Hood cover.The previous book set this group of 5 on their way and now they need more money for a pension fund for all of those old folks still left in sub standard nursing and retirement homes. From the casinos of Las Vegas to the banks and National Museum of Sweden this group of seventy and eighty year olds play Robin Hood. Their methods are intriguing and the results sometimes hilarious. A fun romp through old age that can teach everyone to respect their elders!Read as an ARC from LibraryThing.
