Welcome to Litsy!

This is the only book I read in August that fits our #womenintranslation prompt. This is supposed to be one of the best in the series, but I liked the two others Ive read so far more. This one did have some interesting digressions on the history of the expansion and militarization of the swedish police force though, which I thought was only something that happened in the US!

Day number 2 - the Martin Beck series is classic Nordic noir. Heralded for it's accuracy as a police procedural, this series has marvelous descriptive prose, a roundly developed cast of characters, and an understated sense of humor. Highly recommend.

3.5⭐️ so a Pick. One of my favourite books in the series case-wise, but once again there are totally gratuitous observations of when female characters aren't wearing bras 🙄 I'm convinced the husband of the husband-and-wife author team wrote those chapters 🙄🙄

Not my favorite in this series; sad that there‘s only one more to read. I still give it thumbs up because Martin Beck is such a great character.

I mean, it is a good book. Don‘t get me wrong. I just didn‘t love it. I‘ll read the same Agatha Christie 30 times and be engaged every time but once was enough for this book. I‘ve heard crime novelists rave about this book and I just didn‘t get that excited about it.
