Couldn't read anymore after 20 pages of men chopping wood and not much else action! ( )

Standard Scandinavian detective stuff but much better than average. Lots in it and well put together. The translation was pretty clunky and needed much better proofreading but a good satisfying read. ( )

Giving this guy a try. Not sure why I went ahead and got this; why not start at the beginning of the series, but, ah well. Here we go ... .
A little slow going (and too, too wide-ranging complications story-wise and geographically) for only a little bit, but then pulled together and I was completely engrossed soon into it. The story(s) altogether become quite moving. It all wraps up a little too quickly; but highly recommended. ( )

I read half of this book, and kept hoping it would get better. I don't know if it's bad translation or just no editing, but there are too many well written books to spend time trying to make something out of the mess in this book. ( )
