I too found it very spare and a little different to the writing style in the other Tursten novels I've read. I liked the mystery, though, and I got a solid sense of place in the hospital scenes. And I do like the characters of the investigation team. Of course, I'm biased towards Tursten's work, but still I think the police procedural aspect and the inter-relationships among the team are well done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-54177901418623023862012-03-26T20:14:52.941+10:302012-03-26T20:14:52.941+10:30Honestly, I want to read this book, however, I can...Honestly, I want to read this book, however, I cannot get into it.<br /><br />I enjoyed the previous three books featuring Irene Huss, but this one strikes me as stilted. It just isn't pulling me in or interesting me. <br /><br />So far there is no character development or anything other than direct sentences. Perhaps, it's the "no adornment" which you mention. Whatever it is, it's not grabbing me.kathy d.noreply@blogger.com
