A review by childfreebooks
Sinisten ympyröiden mies by Marja Luoma, Fred Vargas
3.0
This is one of those easy to read who done it crime books. It was entertaining! I read the Finnish translation.
Lots of childless/childfree characters, the lack of children is not commented upon which can be both refreshing or irritating, depending how you feel. Parenthood also not hugely important at all, of course some characters are parents. Then again, it is a murder mystery and I like to observe how often the brainy crime solver is childless/free, how often those killed are or the killers themselves.
Other than that I was confused by how maniac/neurotic/ocd labels where thrown around, not helpful for mental health awareness at all but the book was written in 1996 and it probably didn't age well in this regard.
