Enjoyable, wonderfully gruesome
The contrast between the main protagonists McGrey and Frey is as curious as Holmes and Watson. One a stuffy Scotland Yard detective another a superstitious, grimy local senior police officer. Using music was a brilliant idea to tie the maccabre altogether. While it definitely feels like part of a series, it's still a good start.

"The first single I ever bought was ‘Roxanne’ by The Police, and then my first album was ‘Setting Sons’ by The Jam – I bought it with some birthday money. It has soldiers on the front and it’s got Union Jacks and a bulldog and it’s got ‘Little Boy Soldiers’ on it… it’s a pretty good record."

"I’m learning about Norway’s relationship with the Nazis and a lot of other things about that country. I like the protagonist, Harry Hole; it’s a ridiculous name, but it works. He’s grizzled, alcoholic, surrounded by a lot of corruption, so he’s working against the police and trying to find the serial killer at the same time."
