The Double Silence, by Mari Jungstedt, trans Tina Nunally
Back to Gotland for Ander Knutas' seventh outing. Disappointing; too much plot, too little about the core characters. 6/10
The Sabre Squadron, by Simon Raven
Enjoyed returning to the Alms for Oblivion series. 8/10
Roseanna, by Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo
A trip to Motala was a good reason to reread the first Martin Beck 7/10
The Post Office Girl, by Stefan Zwieg
Engrossing, though slowed down by some rather staged dialogue. 8/10
The Discovery of Slowness, by Sten Nadolny
Brilliant account the life of Arctic explorer James Franklin, distinguished in this fictional telling by a shrewd, inciteful and humane view of life gained by observing and deciding at a different pace than most of us. Best novel I have read this year. 9/10
