This really ramps up the pressure as the book gets going. The alternation between the victim and the investigating team (by which I mean officer) is good and keeps the suspense up. One of the first crime novels I've read in a while where I haven't worked out the ending about half way through. Very e...
This is just a great mystery read. I love the characters and the pacing, and the story is good and makes sense. People keep comparing it to the Dragon Tattoo books, but it's not nearly so dark.
