Vinnie Hansen’s Reviews > The Bat > Status Update

I've had this book recommended to me many times. I expected it to be darker than it is (Scandinavian, you know), but it's less gritty than many police procedurals. There's a fair amount of humor, which I'm enjoying, with Inspector Harry Hole (what a name!) making the rounds of Australia as an outsider trying to assist with the murder of a young Norwegian woman.
