Summary

Henri Koskinen, intrepid insurance mathematician and adventure-park entrepreneur, firmly believes in the power of common sense and order. That is until he moves in with painter Laura Helanto and her daughter...

As Henri realises he has inadvertently become part of a group of local dads, a competing adventure park is seeking to expand their operations, not always sticking to the law in the process...

Is it possible to combine the increasingly dangerous world of the adventure-park business with the unpredictability of life in a blended family? At first glance, the two appear to have only one thing in common: neither deals particularly well with a mounting body count. In order to solve this seemingly impossible conundrum, Henri is forced to step far beyond the mathematical precision of his comfort zone...and the stakes have never been higher...

Wonderful & uplifting

Henri is an unique and lovable hero and the story is wild and wonderful, banal and charming with moments of unexpected laughter shot through with life affirming sweetness. The narration is faultless with real definition to the characters. Highly recommended for a cosy funny and oddly sweet experience.
