I wanted so much to like this book, but it was a struggle to finish. While there is a backstory involving Ewert Grens and his team, it's not a deterrent to following the plot. Grens, however, is a frustrating character and difficult to like. There seemed to be a fair amount of repetition, possibly due to translation difficulties. The book only picked up once "Paula" went to prison, easily 1/3 of the way in. Those sections were exciting and lived up to the promos on the back of the book. But it wasn't worth wading through all the rest.

I tried the best that I could to enjoy reading this book. But, I just couldn't get my mind around the difficult names. I am not used to reading about this type of mule. I got to around 100 pages before I said "I quit". I think I got lost in the translation myself. I, in all honesty, could not recommend this book to anyone.

The best book that I have read in a long time. Not the normal genre that I would choose off the shelf. Prison, drugs, intrigue, murder, police informants, and withholding of information make this an intriguing book. Twists and turns in many directions have you sitting on the edge of your seat to see what happens on the next page. Fast moving from start to finish. My guess is that this will be a best seller in the United States, also.

I really liked this book.The characters were well developed and interesting. It may be a bit far fetched,but still makes for a good read.I have become a fan of Swedish authors as I also enjoy Mankell and Larsen. I did not anticipate the ending. I would recommend his to those who enjoy mystery and crime novels. It will make for a good discussion at book clubs.

Wow! I just couldn't put this one down! Intelligent, intriguing--and even better, I didn't even guess the end. The characters are well drawn and realistic. Would love to read more by these authors!

I loved this book and am fast becoming a fan of Swedish mystery authors. After reading this book, I have decided to read other available books in print in the US from this team.
The book gets one involved immediately and is very fast paced. There are many things going on - drama, conspiracy, and detective work to name a few. I especially liked the information regarding the justice system in Sweden and the use of informants.
The read of this book is somewhat demanding which is why I gave it 4 stars - actually I would give it 4.5. I have already recommended this book to my mystery lover friends.
A very large book - in number of pages and in content - and every page worth reading. Thoroughly enjoyed this one and her first book on the...
