content: I stumbled across this after I was enthralled with the brilliant The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, so I thought I'd give another Swedish mystery/thriller a try. I wanted to like it, the set up is intriguing. But it is just too dull. After about halfway through I just couldn't pick it up anymore. the author writes everything so matter-of-factly that all drama or tension is filtered out completely. Also the book is far too long. I'll just read something else while biding my time until Girl Who Played With Fire comes out.
