A humorous crime caper laser-focused on the world of sauna retail.
Anni Korpinen is our main character. When Ilmo Raty is murdered in the opening pages, in his very own sauna, no less, she becomes both next in line to run the Steam Devil Stove Company (once Erkki Ruusula retires) and a key suspect in the case.
Knowing she didn’t do it, and aware that she won’t sell 64 stoves to a potential big client if the crime isn’t solved, Anni starts investigating.
Did someone have it in for Ilmo, or for the company?
This is so sauna-focused that I think it will be make or break for some readers. But the tight focus is what gives it levity in its ridiculousness too. You have to lean into it, suspend belief for a bit, or jsut walk away thinking the whole thing is nuts!
Maybe not quite on the level of the Rabbit Factor series but still a fun read for me.
