The Wolf and the Watchman by Niklas Natt och Dag

challenging dark mysterious sad medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

The story is well written and the mystery is good. However I found the book unremittingly bleak and depressing with horrendous depictions of crimes and poverty. There's almost a feeling of the author revelling in the sadness and misery he describes so well
