I was actually really looking forward to this book. I had heard many good things and its capacity to be a good page-turner made it a logical follow-up to Ann Patchett's amazing State of Wonder. Or so I thought... In the end, I came to realize that I've perhaps reached my Nordic crime fiction saturation point. All these dark and gloomy heroes in dark and gloomy settings are getting a bit tiring. In a nutshell, this book is about a hypnotist who finds out people's deep, dark secrets and this ticks them off (some more than others) and so the story begins/flashes back. It's not a bad book, it's just didn't knock my socks off either.
