A review by kurtpankau
Mind's Eye by Håkan Nesser

3.0

This is interesting, but I'm not sure if I liked it enough to go on with the series. Very dark, but surprisingly funny. For a gritty Nordic noir (which I've decided is the male-reader equivalent of a cozy mystery), it has a lot of off-beat humor that I rather enjoyed. Nesser gets playful with the POV, jumping into the killer's head without telling us anything about him. The actual substance of the mystery didn't do much for me, and I didn't like some of the author's structural choices, but the main character (who doesn't actually show up for a few chapters) is very engaging.

And for some reason, the reader decided to do the voices in various flavors of stodgy English accent, which was a little dissonant with all of the Swedish names.
