The Return: An Inspector Van Veeteren Mystery Audiobook

" I picked this up years ago in Stockholm because it was one of the few book I saw written by a Swede, but translated into English. I found the pacing slow, the murder unremarkable and the characters forgettable. "

" "Journalists are like cow shit, Reinhart used to say. I'm not especially keen on the stuff as such, but I understand that it has its uses" (103). "

" Entertaining. Quirky. Good read. A chief inspector who follows his own intuition to solve cases. Van Veeteren. The New York Times writes, "Nesser has a penetrating eye for the skull beneath the skin." "

" I enjoy the Inspector Van Veeteren series, good mystery reads. Interesting location in Sweden. Not a flashy hero, but imminently likeable. "

" 4+ actually - one of the best so far. The dry humor is getting better & better. "

" Not as good as previous two books in the series. Still a good read but not gripping like the last ones. I didn't really care about the murder victim and why they were investigating for so long. Seemed a little unreal. "

" Good author; fun mystery. "

" Another excellent Swedish detective novel featuring Inspector Van Veeteren. "

" What is it with these Scandanavian crime writers? This was the second third book I've read by Nesser, and I'm enjoying his style. "

" I found this dull and barely managed to finish. In the "Swedish Detective Novel" genre, I greatly prefer Henning Mankell. "

" Another Nesser that I enjoyed. They are entertaining, well written, good plots, not always well edited. Some words seem to not be well translated. "

" (Inspector Van Veeteren Mystery, No. 3) "

" Loved this book. I wish it was a longer read. A great murder mystery if you like reading them :) "

" Good murder mystery. I almost didn't figure it out. 3 murders, years apart -- narrative kept jumping backward & forward between 1994 and 1993, 1981, or 1962 so I did catch on pretty quick who the murder was but not what his name was. "

" I continue to enjoy these books. Things do get a bit muddled here and there but the characters grow on me. "

" I'm still enjoying the swedish crime novel. In this one, man becomes murderer b/c wife stops having sex with him. Hmmm, seems understandable, no? "

" Great idea for a mystery, but I just didn't "get it". Perhaps I can blame it on the translation? "

" Probably the weakest Van Veeteran book. "

" This is a terrific book. I very much like Van Veeteren and the ending of this one is just so good. "
