This was better than the first because it was actually a spy novel, whereas the first book in the series felt more like crime fiction. I enjoyed the low stakes nature of the plot as well as the use of Sweden as the locale.

My one critique is that it seems like Donald Hamilton's knowledge of firearms and how they work was limited and incomplete. On the other hand, at least he wasn't like these modern action thriller writers who are overly detailed about guns.

I swear the guy narrating these things sounds exactly like James Coburn, lol.
