I read this after enjoying Henning Mankell and Per Wahloo. Nesser's story in nameless fictional Scandinavian-like location is without depth or nuance. Could change names of towns and people and easily place this story in any European country.

These other authors achieve a more authentic feel by placing their stories specifically in Sweden at a particular time within a specific Swedish political environment. I like to feel I'm learning about another culture when I read a mystery set in another country.

Story it is not bad, it is just not anything special. With only limited time to read a good book, can skip this one.

Story idea was good, but not well executed/translated. Very often subjects would be introduced without reference anywhere else in the book.

This is the first book I've read by this author and I really liked it! It's translated very well, the story line was interesting and the characters were likeable. I'm definitely a fan of Hakan Nesser now.
