A thousand thanks SirThomas for bringing this series to my attention.
Björn Diemel is a successful lawyer who has very little time for his wife and young daughter. His wife demands that he attend a mindfulness course and that he temporarily live somewhere else. In addition to 'father time' when he has to look after Emily, he also has to look for a kindergarten place for his daughter. After more than 30 applications and many rejections, it seems that he would not find a place.
The mindfulness course seems to bear fruit, because Björn applies it consistently, even if he sometimes has to twist the meaning of the details in his favour.
When a quiet weekend at the lake with his daughter is planned, his main client, a gangster boss, gets in his way. With the help of the mindfulness guidebook, Björn gets rid of the troublemaker, but has to realise afterwards that more problems now arise. But that's where the guidebook helps him and he feels justified in killing someone mindfully.
It is an extremely amusing crime novel and I often had to smile. ( )

Genial, divertido, ocurrente. Sólo espero/deseo que el autor haga una saga con el protagonista del libro.

Es una novela negra, pero con un fino humor que hace que la historia sea más especial y mejor. El protagonista es un tipo inteligente, que una vez hace el curso, interioriza totalmente la filosofía del mindfulness. Sus reflexiones son buenísimas.

Sus toques de humor son francamente buenos. La parte del dron y de la secretaria me han hecho reír más que los últimos libros de humor que he leído. Y no por ello deja de ser una novela muy negra. ( )

Potrà non essere un capolavoro ma di una cosa sono certa, è divertente, ma proprio tanto.
Un thriller/noir brillante, arguto, comico e frizzante con un protagonista decisamente scaltro e anche molto fortunato, che per salvare il suo matrimonio e soprattutto il rapporto con la figlioletta si vedrà costretto e dare una svolta decisa alla sua vita.
Ironico e pungente si legge in leggerezza, velocemente, con gusto e molto divertimento. ( )
