Yorkshire Pie Jun 2015 6:49pm, 15 Jun 2015 12,666 posts	0 Yorkshire Pie I had never read it before. Crime isn't really my thing and it reminded me too much of work (not in a plot sense, but we acted for the UK publisher on some book related stuff). But as I'm currently in Stockholm (just off gotgaten as it happens) I felt like it was a good opportunity. Crime still isn't my thing I enjoyed it more than I expected but a lot of what I enjoyed was cross referencing places go my map and the cultural stuff rather than the writing. I was rather more willing to pick it up than I was with beloved though, and the plot drew you along nicely.

Also there was one reference to where he used to run in stockholm which was a valuable tip (didn't end up running in the end but we cycled along there this morning).
