I'm a sucker for dual perspectives in crime novels, and I really liked Ardler-Olsens writing style. I'm not completely sold on Mørck yet, his character is a bit all over the place (I've also read so many crime novels with the senior detective who is constantly horny and detached from his emotions and, so it's difficult not to compare him to others that I think were written better), but hopefully he'll grow on me in the sequels. I did however love him and Assad as a dynamic duo, and I hope we'll learn more about Assad's background, cause he seems really fascinating.
