Pretty good, and unlike many murder mysteries, keeps you guessing as to WHODUNNIT until the end.

Horst leverer - igjen og igjen - god og grundig krim uten spekulative element, men likevel med spenning og troverdig skyhøyt over gjennomsnittet. Veldig veldig bra!

I really appreciated how an international investigation was depicted in this. Unlike the movies where it's all drama and ulterior motives, and the FBI are uniformly dicks, this actually showed the way various organizations will work together effectively to solve murders that occur in different countries. I also like that Horst didn't do the thing I hate where they catch the murderer and he diabolically reveals all the intricacies of his crimes, in fact they didn't waste a single sentence on what the killer had to say for himself, which I also appreciated. The evidence and hard work of investigators is more compelling and speaks louder than whatever some basic Bundy-ass loser would have to say anyway.
