But I laughed at Norman´s term: a funereal pace.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-43342371276027385512010-05-17T18:57:33.805+01:002010-05-17T18:57:33.805+01:00Haven't read any of his books yet, have seen t...Haven't read any of his books yet, have seen them often enough and they seem very popular, although I guess other Scandinavian crime writers are more up there these days and keep getting mentioned all over the place.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04041866872571178817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-48343212840769674382010-05-17T18:50:39.049+01:002010-05-17T18:50:39.049+01:00I am so glad to have your reviews to guide me thro...I am so glad to have your reviews to guide me through the crime novel jungle.

I won´t miss them either, but the first ones were more regular crime novels. <br /><br />Elizabeth: if they are compelling enough, I don´t mind long ones, but I am not sure I would have finished this one if I had not decided to use it for my Scandinavian challenge.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-50082069369937067572010-05-17T14:30:22.169+01:002010-05-17T14:30:22.169+01:00Uh-oh. 500 pages=too long for me to read (at leas...Uh-oh. 500 pages=too long for me to read (at least at this point in my life...)<br /><br />Elizabeth<br /><a href="http://mysterywritingismurder.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> Mystery Writing is Murder</a>Elizabeth Spann Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625595247828274405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-28375456078993927442010-05-17T13:37:25.534+01:002010-05-17T13:37:25.534+01:00Dorte I read Sun and Shadow back in 2007 and the p...Dorte I read Sun and Shadow back in 2007 and the pace of the story was funereal. I did not enjoy it and your review does not encourage me to read another. <br />I am starting to enjoy the Lackberg more although it is clear that on their performance so far none of the Fjallbacka police will be given accelerated promotion to lead a homicide squad in Malmo or Gothenburg. ;o)Uriah Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02046023583067265187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-35572797541585685802010-05-17T13:19:46.307+01:002010-05-17T13:19:46.307+01:00Tracy: in my opinion the first handful of these ar...Tracy: in my opinion the first handful of these are better, but I think there are readers who love this ´philosophical´ detective. <br /><br />Margot: I am quite sure he does it on purpose. But while I really love Håkan Nesser´s Van Veeteren, I think there is far too much focus on Winter´s private life. Nesser never forgets he is in the middle of an investigation.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-3346889502294904062010-05-17T12:35:22.513+01:002010-05-17T12:35:22.513+01:00Dorte - I know exactly what you mean about the len...Dorte - I know exactly what you mean about the length of a book, and the amount of time the author spends focusing on side issues.

I sometimes think these series can go on to long.Felicity Grace Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17852843882007267665noreply@blogger.com
