I’m not sure how to rate this one. On the plus side, the atmosphere is terrific and very creepy. The descriptions of the woods, lake, and cabin are great. The book also moves at a good pace and I enjoyed the characters (especially Mork). However, the resolution to the mystery is totally obvious by the end of the second chapter. I hoped for a twist or some kind of alternate ending, but alas. The telegraphed ending wasn’t the worst thing, though. The explanation by the sleuth was completely ridiculous, not to mention a huge info dump. It’s worth a read, but I’m skeptical that this is truly “the great Norwegian thriller.”
