Ένα ευρηματικό μυθιστόρημα, με πολλές ανατροπές στην πλοκή, με συνοχή και δράση. Προβάλλει εικόνες της σύγχρονης Σουηδίας και κυρίως της ζωής της οικονομικής και κοινωνικής ελίτ. Πολύ ενδιαφέρον και καλογραμμένο, ως την τελευταία στιγμή, είναι σχεδόν αδύνατο να μαντέψεις τον ένοχο, αφού διαρκώς παρουσιάζονται άλλοθι από το πουθενά.
