Between Summer's Longing and Winter's End: The Story of a Crime, by Leif G.W. Persson

3.0

This book is likely a 4 star book, but my preference for it was a 2, so I split the difference with a 3. It's a translation from Swedish, and I think that part of the problem could be a large difference in cultures. A lot of time, characters weren't given a name, but were simply referred to by their job title. This book was supposedly the inspiration for the tv show "Backstrom," which is why I picked it up. I have NO idea how they at all connected this book to the show, other than there is a *side character* by the name of Backstrom who is a total asshole. That's it. As far as I could tell, he wasn't even that competent. This book is probably great, but it wasn't to my tastes.
