I'm sorry, but it seems that this book is not translated into English, but on Wikipedia the title is translated as "The Sweet Poison Cook". There certainly is poison and there is also an old lady who is traumatized by her nephew. Every month, when she receives her pension the nephew visits her and forces her into giving him the money. The authorities don't do much in the matter so she decides to take matters in her hands.
As of 2009, Paasilinna has published about 12 non-fiction books and 35 novels, with almost one novel each year from 1972 to 2009, so I find it strange that just two of his book are translated in English. His books have been translated overall into at least 27 languages: the translations beyond neighbouring Scandinavian countries include: 16 into German, 11 into French, 9 into Slovenian, 8 into Italian, 6 into Dutch, 5 into Spanish,4 into Korean, and 2 into English, Ukrainian and Catalan (Wikipedia).
Paasilinna's books reflect quite common Finnish life, usually from a middle-aged male perspective, and in rural Finland. Fast-paced, light and humorous in style, many of these narratives can be described as picaresque adventure stories with often a satirical angle towards modern life.
The nail polish is from Essence, but from the Show Your Feet line. This line is still available, but not this colour, which is Iced mint frappe. This line is specially designed for nails on your feet, but feel free to use them on your hands, no harm in that. The colour is similar to Victoria's secret Lucky, just lighter and greener, if this makes sense. The application was easy. The first coat is a bit uneven, but the second coats evens out the surface just perfectly.
Have a great day :)
