This novel by Jonas Jonasson doesn't disappoint, just as quirky and brilliantly written as hugely popular The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared.
We have a hitman, Anders, recently out of prison, doing small jobs for gangsters, he meets female Protestant vicar, Johanna, who has lost all faith in a God, they join forces with a homeless receptionist, Per Persson, a ruined grandson of an ex-millionaire.
Three unlikely companions, all searching for something better, they hatch a madcap plan which starts well until Anders discovers Jesus and starts to dwell on the meaning of it all.
A fast-paced, hilarious plot that explores the consequences of allowing our rather imperfect human desires to lead us down a path that seems correct at the time. But realising that it's never too late to make amends and start a new journey in life finding redemption in unexpected places.
