Inspector Winter

review 1: Erik Winter is an interesting investigator to me in the ilk of Kurt Wallender, definitely not a perfect man, I find his extra sensory perceptions to be described in a believable way and enjoy his interactions with his 40-year old sister. This particular novel had so many flashbacks that I found myself somewhat confused about the mother's versus the daughter's histories so that the overall findings at the end of the case were a little vague, but since I remained wrapped in the story throughout this became just a minor drawback.
review 2: In bright, hot summertime Sweden, the body of an unidentified woman is found and Chief Inspector Erik Winter is determined to solve the case. To add to the mystery, it is soon determined that the murder victim had had a child w... morehose whereabouts are also unknown. I did not love this book, a work full of darkness and angst. While I appreciated the complexity of the main character, I felt the other characters were thinly drawn. Numerous other subplots were promising, but went no where. Although I thought the story was a good police procedural, Winters suddenly has bursts of brilliant intuition, seemingly from out of the blue. This is one series to which I will not return. less
