My second Nordic Noir book, I'm getting used to the dry, no nonsense, dark and atmospheric genre. I appreciated the multiple layers of conspiracy and fraud enmeshed with family drama in The Harbor.

There were a few too many convenient coincidences that helped the police investigation out without really being clever solutions, and the dialogue was sometimes cringey. I never really understood how the family bed played into the story other than being creepy. Overall it was a little over the top in some places, but followed the formula well. I'm always up for a seemingly isolated crime that uncovers a much bigger picture or connects several other threads that go all the way to the top, and I wasn't disappointed.
