Borkmann's Point: An Inspector Van Veeteren Mystery by Håkan NesserMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Interesting Scandanavian mystery in that the police are optimistic on solving the case without much of anything to go on, while wasting time, drinking wine and playing chess. In the few Scandanavian mysteries I have previously read, there's much brooding, a dark and dreary environment, and general pessimism until optimism is warranted. This is a change. I found the interactions, especially among the police, to be interesting to read, and I enjoyed the few humorous bits, mostly showing people who are good at their jobs but who are also jaded. The case itself was a bit gory. I look forward to reading more in this series.
