Anxious People by Fredrick Backman (2020) Atria Books

The story of a desperate would-be bank robber who unintentionally takes hostages and feels trapped in a play written by someone else.  A local policeman is determined to figure out who the robber is.  He’s conflicted ever since as a child he could not prevent a young lady from jumping to her death from a bridge.  His partner, who is also his father, interferes mostly by questioning everything his son does.  A wealthy lady who was also present at a suicide she could not prevent at the same bridge, goes to apartment showings, and is trapped in the situation.  Another couple also goes to apartment showings on the pretense of looking for an investment.  And another couple, two women, one who is pregnant, also are at the showing.  And an old lady, who seems to know where everything is in the apartment.  All turns out quite unexpected.
