I've been reading this mystery on and off. It gets on my nerves. It is never ending. I go back and then stop. It is never ending, the same over and over, with no relief. The detectives plod their way along. I am an enthusiastic reader of mysteries from all countries. But swedish mysteries are getting on my nerves; the swedes can't get over their heat or their cold [I am scandinavian, by the way]- and this permeates their writing. I will finish this novel. I have taken a pledge. I kept up to page 100 and it appeared to pick up; but, alas, I put it down only to pick up again and so on and so on - will it ever end!!! And if there is some kind of solution, will I care??? Alas!
