4.0

This is an improvement on the first book, though the flawed detective is a well trodden path. One or two bits of the writing is a bit sloppy, this may be the translation; someone who speaks one sentence is not talking at length. I am warming to Harry Hole, though if he keeps on like this he will depopulate the earth. He's more deadly than COVID.
