I enjoyed this book and gobbled it down in the way you can with mysteries, but I'm miserable at guessing whodunnit (which makes reading mysteries more fun) and I had this one figured quickly. Still, the set-up is interesting and, aside from a few questionable bits, the characters well-drawn. Not to give up too much, but the scene that focuses on the mourning father at the crematorium was harrowing in a way one doesn't expect from a police procedural. I'd read more Inspector Sejer books, but so far the supremacy of Per & Wahlöö and Mankell in Scandinavian crime fiction remains unchallenged in my view.
