So probably not.

I only wish there were more of Ekström's books available in English. I'd like to see if he matched or surpassed the ingenuity of this book. Do yuo know if he was translated into Dutch?J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516189026477178777.post-15882319471455137612013-02-04T01:16:29.028+01:002013-02-04T01:16:29.028+01:00Keen eye for detail...I like that.

I did not find the opening slow or dull at all and I can put up with a lot when reading an actual detective story with a pay-off, but that was not the case here. It was actually during the opening (dining scene) that I began to think of Brand.

Another impressive review! And with him comparing it to Carr and you comparing it to Brand, how can I not add it to the TBR list? That house on the cliff cover in blue, black and yellow...must find that one. And, no, I'm not the least bit obsessive about those sorts of details. :-)Bev Hankinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127476456755776574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516189026477178777.post-46199483728920053322013-02-03T21:45:04.607+01:002013-02-03T21:45:04.607+01:00Did you find the beginning a bit slow and, well, d...Did you find the beginning a bit slow and, well, dull?
