Sorry

In the German thriller Sorry by Zoran Drvenkar, Kris, Tamara, Frauke and Wolf are four friends trying to scrape by in life, until one day a chance encounter just before losing his job gives Kris an idea: they can form an agency that apologizes. Unfair dismissals, the wrongly accused, every company has a price and Sorry is the place to turn. The agency proves to be a quick success and the four finally find happiness living and working together in a villa on the outskirts of Berlin, until they get a client that will rip their lives apart. He's no ordinary business man; he's a murderer. What he wants is for the agency to apologize to the woman he killed and to dispose of the body.  The four all deal with ethical dilemmas and the threats to the ones they love differently, but the one thing they have in common is that none of them will ever be the same.

Every time I put this book down, I thought about giving up on it. It was definitely one of the weirder things I have read and I was frequenlty confused.
