Anxious People by Fredrik Backman

Shloka Nambiar's note

I loved this book. It's a fine-tuned, funny mystery filled with disparate personalities who "meet" in a hostage situation. Nothing is what it seems, and each character surprises you. Because the timeline skips back and forth, it's a little challenging to read, but not impossible and, without exception, the slow incomplete reveals are worth the wait.
