Very Scandi-noir, with a suitable dark undertone, however i found the plot contrivances a little bit too contrived. I probable will return to the other ones of the series, but right now I think I will read a Val McDermid first.
I really enjoyed this book. It was a page turner for me. Even though there were aspects that I absolutely saw coming I remained intrigued by character development and minor plot lines. Fast paced and fun! ( As much as a crime novel can be noted as fun) I believe the main character could easily transfer well onto film or TV.
