Review title: Fairly pedestrian scandinavian crime novel
Product review: My wife and I read this after becoming hooked on the Scandinavian crime scene, mainly through Larsson and Mankell. The Princess of Burundi shares the bleak landscape and social themes of the Wallander series and the Salander books, but little else. The plot is uninteresting and so are the characters, who mostly walk around complaining about their boring lives. The detectives do very little investigating, or much else for that matter. This might be what you get when a mediocre writer attempts a Bergmanesque thriller and fails miserably.
