Fairly run-of-the-mill nordic noir. Characters have no real depth and the mystery is not particularly memorable.
I read it as a standalone and was able to follow the plot, but as it makes reference to events that took place in the previous book in the series, the bigger arch that runs trough the series got lost on me.

Tykkään Sam Bergeristä ja Molly Blomista. Myös tarinassa selvitettävänä oleva rikos oli mielenkiintoinen. Kirja on kuitenkin kokonaisuudessaan tosi sekava ja meinasin jättää kesken jo alkumetreillä. Bergerin ja Blomin takia kuitenkin jatkoin.
