Zofia's heavy-handed, DIY investigation soon yields some results: Steve does have skeletons in his closet. Two are of particular interest: he stole Janek's novel and published it as his own; and he's now dating Janek's ex-boyfriend... Steve and Zofia soon join forces to unravel this mystery. There's an unsolved murder, a stolen book, and a missing boyfriend - all that before Zofia and Steve even begin to face the fact that they both played a part in creating this almighty mess.Just as hilarious as it is thought-provoking, this unputdownable and genuinely one-of-a-kind page-turner is perfect for fans of Jonas Jonasson, Fredrik Backman and Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine.
