I enjoyed the first part of the book, the history of the Scandinavian noir. The second part in which the author attempts to write her experience being in Scandinavian countries researching, visiting, and talking to people about Scandinavian noir in the style of a mystery I couldn't continue unless a skimmed. I found it annoying in terms of style attempt, but I also scanned until I found a phrase or an interesting topic.

A received a d-arc from Edelweiss for an honest review.
