Ran out of time and had to return the book. I'll put it on hold and try again later.
Finished:
A pulpy mystery that wasn't very fun to read. I don't know what it was about this book, but I found the mystery boring and predictable. Even the action sequences were just ok. Maybe I'm not in the mood for this right now or maybe I don't like Harry Hole. I'm not sure if I will read the next in the series.

Dated and a bit pedestrian - I won't be pursuing this series.

Wow. Way better than ‘The Bat’. I’m glad I gave this author another chance. Short novel, I got confused a few times, but good crime story.
