Criminal defence lawyer Björn Diemel has an ultimatum from his wife: fix his work-life balance, or lose his family. He reluctantly takes up mindfulness, and to his own surprise, it works. He's calmer, happier and more focused than he's ever been.
There's just one snag: when his worst client, a volatile Berlin crime boss, threatens the peace Björn has worked so hard to find, he discovers that murder can be a mindfulness exercise too.
It's a razor-sharp, very funny satire on the wellness industry and the legal profession, and it's found a huge audience, shortlisted for the CWA Dagger for Crime Fiction in Translation, a Kirkus starred review, and its own Netflix adaptation.
Soho Press has spent nearly forty years bringing bold, internationally minded fiction to readers who want something a little different from the mainstream shelf. Add Murder Mindfully to your shelf if you're after something dark, clever and genuinely funny.
