I really wanted to like this Swedish best seller but in truth, found it a tough slog. It is a police procedural but extremely slow moving ( til the end) and a deeply introspective story. Much of the story takes place in each character's mind, the conversations they have with themselves being much wordier & revealing than the conversations they have with each other. Then all of a sudden, the identity & subsequent capture of the murderer , the discovery of a missing child & an assault on his mother plus another murder all take place in the last 20 pages. I would have appreciated some of this action a little earlier in the story.
