He has done it again! Honestly the way that Backman is a master manipulator of emotions and there hasn't been a single book of his that hasn't had tears prickling my eyes and breath catching in my chest and this is no exception.

This is the story of a bank robber who ends up taking hostages at an apartment viewing and so much more. As always with Backman the story is more than it seems, it about the impact we have on each other life's and the paths that leads us down. I think the author is an emotional Sherlock Holmes, he manages to see and put into words all the micro feelings and emotions we feel day to day.

Such a clever and witty story with a real emotional roller-coaster ride throughout, fans of Backman will not be disappointed with this latest treasure.
