Oh what fun these books are, love Wisting, the fact there aren't dead girls and Nordic crime!

The daughter of Norwegian Police Inspector William Wisting finds herself on the cusp of danger when she breaks up with her boyfriend and moves into a closed-up summer cottage, as Wisting coincidentally investigates a murder nearby. Lots of cold, lashing rain, high winds and clammy fog make the book a classic 'cozy.' There are more than a few twists and turns to the plot but stilted language, a stiff main character and undeveloped secondary characters make this police procedural a bit of a plod. Recommended if like Scandanavian crime novels, but I think there are better options out there.

Livro demasiado longo, onde a história se perde imenso. Não é necessário tanto detalhe inútil.

Excellently written/translated Nordic crime novel. Interesting commentary on the role and responsibility of the police in modern society as well.
