Summary

Calm your mind. Be here, now. Take a breath. And kill…

‘What a breath of fresh air! Dark, very funny, totally engaging.’ CRAIG RUSSELL, author of HYDE

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER – OVER 2.5M COPIES SOLD
I didn’t kill anyone until I was forty-two. That’s actually a little on the late side for my current professional environment. Admittedly, I did kill almost half a dozen in the week that followed.

Björn has been given an ultimatum: repair his work-life balance, or his wife Katharina will leave him – and take their daughter.

He reluctantly starts a mindfulness class and to his surprise, it’s a revelation. He becomes calmer, more focused, and he’s starting to understand what’s really important in life. So when his client and brutal crime boss Dragan Sergowicz tries to interfere with his precious family time, Björn remembers his new-found goal to find serenity – and kills him.

Now Björn can deepen his practice and seek inner peace – violently.

‘A razor-sharp satire on stressed-out modern society, a darkly comic and hugely entertaining crime thriller and – believe it or not – also a handy guide to improving your life through mindfulness.’ ROBBIE MORRISON, author of EDGE OF THE GRAVE

‘A violent, feel-good rampage of a book where the pace and positivity never let up. Twisted and hilarious!’ CALLUM MCSORLEY, author of SQUEAKY CLEAN

Critic Reviews

Suspense on every page, unasked-for advice and loads of black humour.

Jan Böhmermann
Critic Reviews

Dusse's black humour is brilliant; the […] abstruse scenes are Tarantino-like.

Bonner General-Anzeiger
Critic Reviews

A truly wonderful crime novel… A genius plot, a black-humoured story, and you can even use the mindfulness tips. An absolutely grand novel.

Deutschlandfunk Kultur Lesart
Critic Reviews

Hilarious and at times a bit brutal. But always educational.

Stuttgarter Zeitung
Critic Reviews

An absolutely hilarious crime novel on mindfulness, organised crime, meditation, and murder – Dusse managed a crazy balancing act providing a lot of joy.

Brigitte
Critic Reviews

Finally, a self-help guide we can all relate to. Murder Mindfully is a violent, feel-good rampage of a book where the pace and positivity never let up. Twisted and hilarious!
