I would never have picked this up if it weren't for so many positive recommendations in a discussion group I belong to. The WWII backdrop just didn't appeal that much to me. I'm glad I tried it. Loved the character of Billy Boyle, the mystery is a nice puzzle with a couple little twists, great supporting characters and an excellent sense of place and time. The details of WWII battles, except for a few big ones, are not in my memory, so I was sorely tempted to go look up the Norwegian invasion to find out what really happened (I let the book tell me instead). Really good storytelling, I put aside everything else while reading it.
