Reader Reviews:
Wonderful Crime Novel (3/5 people found this helpful)
Did the previous reviewer read the same book as me?! "Detective Inspector Huss" gripped me from page one. The plot, setting and characterisation were all masterly and in my opinion Helene Tursten is fit to stand beside other fine Swedish crime writers(and perhaps even give them a few lessons too!) The book contained interesting insights into Swedish life and the translation into English was excellent. I will be searching out more novels by this author and can heartily recommend her to anyone who enjoys a good crime novel.
going through the motions (2/8 people found this helpful)
A very disappointing read. The characterisation is thoroughly stereotyped and the attempts to do something imaginative with the figure of the heroine don't get off the ground. I finished the novel from a sense of duty, having begun it, but although I am generally enthusiastic about Scandinavian crime literature, I will not be reading any more Tursten. The reviews on amazon.com are pretty much in line with this view.
