The Man Who Died by Antti Tuomainen
5.0
I was very lucky to hear Antti Tuomainen read and talk about The Man Who Died novel at the Edinburgh Book Festival earlier this year. When I was asked if I would like to be on the blog tour I jumped at the chance.
The Man Who Died was such a refreshing and unique read. I was hooked from start to finish. Jaako Kaunismaa is now on my top ten list of memorable characters. I don’t do spoilers so it’s difficult to talk about the plot. A modern day, ‘Who done it?’ with humorous plot twists in every chapter. The tone and pace of the writing added to my reading experience. Often when I finished a chapter I was overcome with different questions and thoughts. Which for me is a sign of a great read, when I am so immersed in the story.
The book cover is gorgeous, with the crisp white and luminous green it really pops. The Man Who Died will be on your favourite reads of 2017. I know that I will re-read it again and for sure I will experience it differently each time as the writing is so exquisite and noteworthy.
Antti Tuomainen has the knack of putting you smack bang into the story and you buckle up and go on the wild ride with murder, mushrooms and so much more!
