From Amazon.co.uk:
'Has anyone seen Andreas?' Andreas's disappearance is a mystery to all, including his inseparable friend Zipp. But its not easy for Zipp to come forward with details of the last time he saw his friend - they had been following an old woman, an easy target for some quick cash, and Andreas boldly followed her into her home brandishing his knife, the next moment he was gone. Zipp waited anxiously outside but Andreas failed to reappear. Inspector Sejer and his colleague Skarre are baffled but while the confusion in the outside world continues, a chilling and heart-stopping drama is unfolding inside the old woman's home. In a plot in the tradition of Stephen King, Fossum deploys her trademark skill of looking realistically, terrifyingly, into the minds of criminal and victim. Appearances aren't always to be believed, and people are not always what they seem.

Strange... not really sure what to make of it.... At times the language disturbs because it is possible to "feel" the translation... so it's not as smooth as it should be from a language point of view.

Slightly lacking in something, I am not sure what? It twists and turns, sometimes suprisingly but not often, and characters range from boring to unbelievable and together it all comes out as "not quite right"!

Sorry, Gyd....!
