The Demon of Dakar: A Mystery - Kjell Eriksson, Ebba Segerberg

Original Title: Mannen från bergen

 

I saw this book in the library and as I'm always in for a new author, I thought I would give this book a try.

 

I was very disappointed by this book. I usually really like Scandinavian detectives, but this one wasn't working for me, unfortunately. I found the plot, if present, not really interesting and the story in itself wasn't very credible either.

 

I've heard though that this is considered one of his weakest novels, so perhaps I was just unlucky when choosing this book. However, I'm don't plan to read any more of his books in the near future.

 

Note: I read a Dutch translation of this book
