The strong female detective

I didn’t like the ending. It seemed forced just to be different and not in character

Good story ruined at the end

A good story with good characters. A nice mystery, but with a huge twist at the end. I guess the author is obsessed with ending with a big twist, but I don’t like this sort of thing. I was looking forward to a long series of stories from this author and I almost bought the next one before I finished the first one, but now I don’t intend to buy another one. Quite disappointing. Why do so many authors feel they have to end with a big twist?

A jurnalist in Malmo

many of the Swedish words were hard to understand for an native Swede and lost its point in the story. Thee twist and turns made the story fun but didn't make it credible.

A good story but an unsatisfying resolution

This book was well written and narrated. The story keeps you guessing until the very end. Alas, when the dots are finally connected, I felt that there wasn’t much of a firm basis for the revelation. I don’t know what else to say about it without posting spoilers.

Strictly Mediocre

No surprises. Pretty ho-hum. Don’t know how I even managed to finish it — or why! Maybe because the narration was very good.
