This book just arrived in the mail. Tack så mycket! It (and the little bookmark as well) was a wonderful surprise :)
Finished it already! The setting of this mystery was different from the usual Inspector Jury mysteries, and the clash of cultures made for some amusing scenes. Melrose as a writer was also fun, but overall I didn't enjoy this as much as some of the other books.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
The story was more about literature than about a real case, surely not my favourite Jury novel. Left it at the hotel's "book table" which looked like an unofficial bookcrossing zone although I didn't see any BC books there.
