Another good Harry Hole book. I quite like the main character so these seem like dependable books. I wasn't as taken with this one as the Redbreast, but it was still good. I guess my only complaint was that there was a lot of times where it seemed wrapped up and then he pulled out a twist - this is fine if you do it once, but it just felt a little planned since it happened several times. My husband found this the weakest of the series, so assures me the ones that follow are actually better.
