The Mind's Eye

I must admit that I thought this was set in Denmark! So how good is the setting? It's much less obvious than Henning Mankell's books. Doesn't make the books less readable. This is, I think, Hakan Nesser's first book (at least with Van Veeteren) and it's really good. I love the humour - that fly in the court chapters and Van Veeteren himself ... This isn't a book trying to give the reader a taste of another culture, but for readers outside Sweden it at least proves that Swedes do have a sense of humour! Read it.
