Again, there any many things happening in this Samuel Bjørk novel. The case of the Owl has a long back story, but also is one of coincidences. It was written well and I read it almost at once (there was some sleeping in between).
Even though it was so good, there were two things that annoyed me a bit.
The first thing was that Miriam was again victim to the perpetrator. She and her father haven't been well together for over ten years, that started to change after the first book of Munch and Krügers new department. But he has been a cop doing weird cases most of her life, and now she's run into them twice in a year? Not really believable...
The second thing is, Samuel Bjørk seems to want to be all up to date about technology and throws some random words around about hacking and computer technology. But that's what they are. Random words. It doesn't add up and it doesn't really work well. I don't mind him introducing hackers, but if you don't get the culture or technology, keep it as seen from Munch and Krügers perspectives, don't throw around names just for the sake of the names.
