The title of this book caught my attention and after reading the blurb I was intrigued. Thank you to Faber and Faber for granting my request for an ARC via Netgalley.
Criminal defence lawyer, Björn needs to find some work-life balance. He's on the verge of losing his wife and daughter due to his demanding workload. So reluctantly he begins mindfulness classes. Surprisingly the lessons and exercises he learns help Björn to find some serenity but when that inner peace is threatened by his demanding client, he kills him... mindfully!
I really enjoyed the dark humour in this book. The mindfulness lessons at the start of each chapter were actually quite thought provoking and I thought they cleverly linked in with the subsequent chapter.
Overall I enjoyed this read, I found Björn to be a character I could root for and hopefully he will have more mindfull adventures in the future.
