3.0

The third book I’ve listened to in Swedish this year. Overall, it was satisfying as a suspense novel. The tension relied almost wholly on unreliable narrators. The twists might have been foreseeable, if I had taken the time to think. I didn’t, though - listening to it at 1.8 x speed in Swedish, I could keep up with it but I didn’t have time for much reflection. Pure escapism. Don’t look to this for anything original or transformative, but it’s a good read if you’re in the mood.
