Reviews

[Van Veeteren] tackles a murder investigation as if it were a knotty chess problem. . . . There's much to be said for a quiet man with a good mind. -- The New York Times Book Review Elegantly penned. . . . Thoroughly enjoyable. . . . [A] twisty layered tale that should keep even seasoned mystery fans guessing. . . . Just as Van Veeteren is no typical fictional detective, Nesser is no typical mystery writer. And The Inspector and Silence is no typical summer read: a Swedish vacation tale that visits the darkness with appropriate gravity but doesn't wallow in it--all the while managing to entertain. -- Cleveland Plain Dealer A thrilling investigation. -- Newsweek What's surprisingly refreshing about Nesser's writing, given the subject matter, is the wry humor and sarcasm of his characters, that and a storyline that will keep you riveted till the final page. . . . Where Jo Nesbo's approach is more physical, visceral, Nesser's Chief Inspector Van Veeteren is much more cerebral. A chess player and lover of classical music and art films, Van Veeteren is nevertheless a bit of a curmudgeon, world-weary and nearing retirement, not unlike Henning Mankell's Kurt Wallander. -- San Antonio Express-News Evocatively drawn. . . . A work of great moral complexity. . . . The clarity of Nesser's vision, the inner problems of good and evil with which Van Veeteren struggles, recall the films of Bergman. -- The Independent (London) [A] riveting tale. . . . [Van Veeteren] is the perfect detective for the job--ploddingly thorough and cerebral, with keen intuition about the darker reaches of the human character. -- Minneapolis Star Tribune This is stylish, atmospheric crime fiction with a strong moral core from an award-winning author; essential for readers of the genre. -- Library Journal Nesser concentrates on character and relationships in his novels. . . . His latest moves along leisurely
