A review by johnnyb1954
The Abominable Man by Maj Sjöwall
4.0
More tragic and more action-filled than previous entries in the series. There is still the plodding procedure, but less of it So I was tempted to give only three stars, but it was a very good read. The police characters remain sharply drawn, flawed, yet each contributing to the team.
There are a few words that seem out of place so it makes me question the translation.
The authors seem to have tired of a couple of characters that I enjoyed and eliminate them.
The ending is abrupt and leaves us hanging as to some of the outcome.
I grew tired of Martin Beck’s constant cold. But at least it is referred to less in this book and his stomach trouble seems to have gone finally.
