Roger didn't like this candidate at all. But what he is interested in is his collection of art that he wanted to steal. The characters are not likeable. The readers have to find out who is really the worst guy as both of the protagonists are liars. Interesting and stinky kind of story. Not prett...

Finished: I waffled between 3 & 4 stars for this book. I liked it, but I can't say that I loved it. Perhaps because the book is 16 years old at this point, and I've read a lot of Nordic Noir in those intervening years, it doesn't feel particularly groundbreaking to me.
