I did really enjoy this book, the descriptions of the Norwegian countryside made me want to go! However there were quite a lot of detective novel cliches - main character is a maverick, alcoholic, lost his daughter, been in rehab… It was well written though and pretty tense towards the end and, although I thought I’d worked it out, I was wrong!
