5.0 out of 5 stars First Rate Crime Novel, 12 May 2009
By Simon Clarke (Hackney, London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Woman with Birthmark (Hardcover)
This is the fourth of Hakan Nesser's Inspector Van Veeteren
mysteries to be translated into English,and the more I read
of Nesser the more he stands out as a crime novelist of the
highest order.Unlike other Scandinavian crime writers he
locates these mysteries not in a real place but in an invented
Northern European country,which seems to be a mixture of Holland,
Germany ,Sweden and Poland.
The plot of this very readable novel concerns a woman who is
motivated by the death of her mother to carry out retributive
murders.For a long time the engaging Van Veeteren and his team
can make no headway in solving the case,but the energy of the novel
is maintained by the humour (for which the translator must take
much credit)and interesting characterisation,as it progresses
to its moving conclusion.
A splendid novel by a writer deserving of a wide readership.

3.0 out of 5 stars Served cold, 29 July 2009
By Josephine Huys (England) - See all my reviews
  
This review is from: Woman with Birthmark (Paperback)
Scandinavian crime is a genre you just love or not. Anyone picking up this latest Nesser might not think much of it (as the previous reviewer obviously), yet it is an excellent story, with a very interesting criminal at its heart. I guess one loves this genre precisely for the bleakness and inherent sadness that the environment provides, and because that makes for such an atmospheric background. But beyond that element, 'Woman with birthmark' is definitely a gripping, good, strong addition to the collection !

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as previous books in the series, 31 Aug 2009
By K. McGill (Norfolk UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Woman with Birthmark (Hardcover)
Hakan Nesser has written another good book but I have to say that this wasn't has complex as previous books in the series. I found it just a little too easy and finished the book in one day.
