When a dead man is lifted from the freezing waters of Oslo Harbour just before Christmas, Detective Lena Stigersand's stressful life suddenly becomes even more complicated.

This is not my kind of mystery.
Who does whaat, why, where I could not figure out. By listening through the end of the book, I still
had no clue. It may be very good.
