I listened to the audio book narrated by Simon Vance. It was riveting especially once it got going. In the beginning I had to concentrate more and focus to learn the characters. This isn't the typical genre I read or listen to. It did have graphic violence which isn't my thing, but there were admirable characters and an interesting plot. I also learned a little bit about Sweden which was interesting to me.
