3.0

The first installment of the Inspector Van Veeteren series, this police procedural takes place in Sweden. The murder of a teacher lands her husband in prison but Inspector Van Veeteren doesn't believe he's the killer. The novel is a fast read but does not stand out in a crowded field of excellent Scandinavian crime novels. It lacks the social commentary and description of the Scandinavian landscape that make this genre so special and intriguing. Still, the book is good enough to make me want to read others in the series to see if they will fulfill my expectations.
