Title: Maybe it is a terrible translation?
Product review: I just bought Torso after finishing (in the last couple years) all of Nesbo's Harry Hole books (Norway), all of Mankell's Wallander books (Sweden), all of the Erlandur/Iceland books, several of Camilla Lackberg's books, and a smattering of other Scandinavian fiction. I was looking forward to a women detective. But I thought this book was so awkwardly written in the English language version, and the ending was abrupt and disappointing. I wonder if it is the translation, because the dialogue is so choppy and awkward, as is the expository writing. I also found it devoid of truly suspenseful moments as the plot thickened. (For example, when they finally realize who the killer is is such an underwhelming scene.)I am really surprised there are so many positive reviews!I may try another before I completely rule this author out, but this was a real letdown.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
