For me, the investigation was the best part (as usually is it, sincerely) of the book. The case was sometimes too dark, what I can accept as an important way to make you care for the victim. However, it took me forever to advance with the book because the misogyny almost made me DNF it. It became clear that the misogyny was from the author, that found important to have women in the book only to be objectified or vilified. I read books written in the 1920s that had less misogyny than this book

I didn’t DNF this book because I was trying to determine if it was the main character who is a misogynist, or the author. It’s both. If the main character has any redeeming qualities, they were lost on me.
Though the perpetrator was obvious from start, the interesting plot wasn’t enough to overcome the unlikable characters and sexism.

Spennende krim med et etterforskningsteam det er morsomt å bli kjent med. Særlig Assad.
En svag 3,5.
Man kan typen nu: trött, desillusionerad polis, brott av knäppgök med väl skruvat motiv. Lite gubbigt. Polisens sidekick är den som mest väcker läsarens nyfikenhet. Vilka befogenheter har han egentligen, hur har han fått sina speciella kunskaper? Kanske får jag svar i nästa del, för boken var tillräckligt bra för att man ska vilja fortsätta.
