This may be one of the most uniquely presented books I've read. Narrative POV changes, he said-he said, journaling, interviews--each section of the book makes you reassess your assumptions and thinking, much of what the detective himself is forced to do. Though that made it a bit disjointed at times, the writing was crisp and fluid, and so easily readable that I polished the book off in just a few readings. Description is sparse--if you like knowing precisely what a setting looks or smells like, you won't get it here--but I didn't feel it took away from the story. In fact, its absence made the story move more quickly, and I never felt wanting. Good translation too.
