4.5 stars. It was an enjoyable read. Pacing at the end felt a bit rushed as the author wanted to tie all the loose ends. The ending was a surprise!

This was a strange read.  The story concept was intriguing but I just found the execution to be boring.  Hulda is a detective on the verge of retirement when she picks up one last cold case.  I liked seeing how the case progressed but I did think that Hulda made a few silly decisions.  While I wanted to know the outcome and the ending was a shock, I found the story to be dull & boring.

La fiera della banalità. Personaggi piatti, situazioni ed eventi poco credibili, luoghi comuni. Non so neanche perché l'ho finito.
