"Another excellent entry in the Detective Inspector Huss series from Sweden. Grade A police procedure with a kickass female detective. Combine Copenhagen, gay sex shops, necrophilia, and serial killers with a moody Swedish detective and that's the book. It's pretty good if you're into that sort of thing. I couldn't put it down but I had to read something light afterwards."
"Wow, what a disappointment. The beginning of this thriller had such great potential, but at the end I feel it failed to live up to the international mystery/thriller community's praise. The writer tried to create two different story lines that intersect at the scene of the crime. However, one story line disappeared from the chapters and then reappeared close to the end with a sad attempt to show vital it was to have this other story line for the book. It just didn't work."
"Even though the subject matter was fairly gruesome, I liked the flow of this book a lot better than the first one. The little side vignettes about family life, Swedish culture and food were a nice break from the "crime novel" aspect of the book. Overall, a good story."
