This story begins with a grumpy Swedish man who is rather unlikable. I immediately saw parallels with Leif Persson's Backstrom and I was very worried I'd stumbled into another awfully written MC. I am happy to report that was not the case by the end. Based on the settings, I figured it had to be a redeeming story arc and the fact that it was such a popular book made my believe this more. I know there are many shitty books that get to the bestsellers list or that are required reading in school, but the potential redemption arc seemed so obvious that I knew it had to be good. It was. This was a well-written, heart-warming story and I would really recommend it to anyone who enjoys rooting for character growth and a realistic setting.
