5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Mystery, May 20, 2010
This review is from: The Man in the Window (Thomas Dunne Books) (Paperback)
The characters are deep, the backdrop is engaging, but the mystery is the thing. The plot takes time to play out, getting thicker and murkier as it progresses. I found myself thinking about this novel much more than most mysteries. Mankell is the standard comparison for Scandinavian crime fiction, and his novels do have more breadth and finesse. However I never found his mysteries as engaging and puzzling as the one Dahl presents.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellant Norwegican noir, July 11, 2010
This review is from: The Man in the Window (Thomas Dunne Books) (Paperback)
Again, K. O. Dahl creates a unique Scandinavian mystery. The victim here has not only been murdered, but has been further humiliated by being exhibited in the nude in his shop window. We're given the last day of his life in detail, and then the methodical investigation by Norwegian inspectors Frolich and Gunnarstranda. We are led through a compolex labyrinth leading to a complicated solution with the requisite red herrings. The victim is an octogenarian and the investigation leads us back to the second World War as seen through Norwegian eyes.All in all, this is a quite satisfying book and one more example of Scandinavian mystery telling.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not really credible, February 11, 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Man in the Window (Thomas Dunne Books) (Paperback)
This novel started rather auspiciously. Unfortunately, several of the protagonists never came to life. And in the end, the motives appeared specious, and it was hard to believe the murderers really acted in the way described. It did not seem in character with the way they had been shown.

I have read a number of Scandianvian authors, and am a particular fan of Henning Mankell's and Karin Fossum. This author is way below.
