I seem to be saving reviews to do in one batch so this is 1st of 3 and 7th of the inspector van veeteren series. More grumpy scandi police drama and it's definitely a genre in which i feel totally at home, not sure what that says 😂 Anyway a road accident triggers a string of crimes which need investigating. Our hero still semi retired gets drawn in to the hunt for the criminal. Very satisfying.

This is an enjoyable mystery/thriller from Sweden. It opens with a man driving home drunk and accidentally killing a teenage pedestrian. But someone saw him. It unravels from there with the dual narratives of the unnamed man and the police investigation. I liked the twists and even gasped aloud at least once. I'll definitely try this author again.

Finished this one up tonight. Probably my favorite of the Chief Inspector Van Veeteren crime novels. This one is seventh in the series. For me, Van Veeteren ranks right up there with Henning Mankell's Kurt Wallander.

Time for a little late afternoon reading with Louie. Returning to my Swedish crime novels. This time number 7 of the Inspector Van Veeteren mysteries. I enjoyed the previous 6 and I bet I'll like this one too.

Another book finished. Good mystery. Sometimes the writing felt a bit stilted but that could be part of the translation. #24in48
