The Man Who Died by Antti Tuomainen
3.0

A sort of absurd comedy/mystery combo, this was a delightful audiobook listen. Not only because I had not heard of the author before and was positively surprised, but foremost because it is always a treat to listen to Finnish authors in translation. The reader does a heroic job trying to pronounce the Finnish place names, but it still sounds funny for Finnish ears. The book reminded me somewhat of Arto Paasilinna (of Year of the Hare fame).
