I think the translation was a bit unfortunate because it felt like trekking through thick mud trying to read this. 

The characters were a bit meh, and i found myself not liking them.

It was more of a cop procedural than i expected. I needed darker vibes and a grim setting to truly feel like a Scandinavian-noir ish book.

I did guess the killer and a bit of the mysterious elements pretty early but it didnt seem to take away anything from reading it because it was one of the few things i thought was done pretty okay. The mystery was mysterious lol
