The story resolves several different problems brought to the attention of Ulf Varg and his colleagues. I loved the distinct personalities of the characters, and the glimpses into how each of them viewed others, while mostly the story sticks to Ulf's perspective. I appreciated the difference of reading a story set in Malmö, Sweden. I look forward to reading more in the series!
