Book Log 2019 #26: The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden by Jonas Jonasson

Nombeko Mayeki, born and raised in Soweto, seemed fated to a short and miserable life. But her natural intelligence allowed her to succeed where other orphaned children did not. But it also landed her in some unusual situations, forcing her to find ways to outwit and outlast the people behind South Africa's secret nuclear weapons program, the Mossad, domestic terrorists, and a potato farmer, and eventually save the King of Sweden.

It sounds a little crazy, and it is, especially told with the book's great humor. I don't often audibly laugh when reading, but did so at least a couple of times with this book.  There are parts where being able to suspend disbelief comes in handy, but by and large the comedy supports and advances the story. It's very much worth reading.
