4.0
Everything about this book piqued my interest when I first heard about it! I’m not sure it’ll leave my brain in a hurry. Achieving a better work-life balance is a goal for many of us, but when Björn’s journey begins and he learns a little more about mindfulness, he discovers some pretty disturbing new coping strategies…
Murder Mindfully is such a unique crime novel written with a dark, comical edge. I couldn’t help but get fully drawn into such an original concept, the murder and the mindfulness contrasting in such a clever way from beginning to end. For the most part, it’s an addictive read, characters are developed so well (even though there are a fair few to get acquainted with) and the plot was really engaging. The mindfulness quotes at the start of each chapter were surprisingly useful (I definitely won’t be using them to commit a murder, ha) and the way this theme of being mindful became the foundations of everything Björn does to turn his life around was explored to perfection. It’s a dangerous, tense and thrilling journey until the very last page. A must read!
