Hitman-Anders and the Meaning of it All

 

IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN. AND AGAIN. AND AGAIN.

It’s always awkward when five thousand kronor goes missing. When it happens at a certain grotty hotel in south Stockholm, it’s particularly awkward because the money belongs to the hitman currently staying in room seven. Per Persson, the hotel receptionist, just wants to mind his own business, and preferably not get murdered. Johanna Kjellander, temporarily resident in room eight, is a priest without a vocation, and, as of last week, without a parish. But right now, she has two things at her disposal: an envelope containing 500 EUR, and an excellent idea…

Featuring one violent killer, two shrewd business brains, and many crates of Moldovan red wine, Hitman Anders and the Meaning of It All is an outrageously zany story with as many laughs as Jonasson’s multimillion-copy bestseller THE 100-YEAR-OLD WHO CLIMBED OUT THE WINDOW AND DISSAPPEARED

REVIEWS

‘It seems that Jonasson can do no wrong as he churns out novel after novel after novel, all of the same high standard.’
