The captives include a recently retired couple who relentlessly hunt down fixer-uppers to avoid the painful truth that they can’t fix their own marriage. Looking at real estate isn’t usually a life-or-death situation, but an apartment open house becomes just that when a failed bank robber bursts in and takes a group of strangers hostage. And of course, if there are any others of his that I should read! Here’s the synopsis: If you’ve read his other books, let me know what you think about this one compared to his previous stories. Such a creative story with a truly wonderful ending. I thought he wrote the characters all quite well-all district and a bit lost for their own reasons. There’s definitely a quirky, and somewhat, random nature to it and I liked how everything ends up coming together in the end. This is actually the first novel I’ve read by Fredrik Backman and I so enjoyed his writing.
