This is one of those books that everyone seems to love (if you read the ad copy) but I didn't get it. I liked Nesbo's prose. I liked the characters. I just wasn't on board with the plot. It felt meandering and uneccessarily cryptic. I did love the infusion of Austrailian folk lore; that was awesome. Overall, he was unclear about details I felt should be explicitly described. Instead, Nesbo used euphemism and symbolic language to reveal important details. It made me feel daft and I hated that.
