Book Review - He who Kills the Dragon by Leif G. W. Persson



Detective Superintendent Evert Bäckström is the weirdest detective I have ever read about. He is prejudiced and seemingly quite lacking in intelligence. He is prejudiced against just about all of his colleagues and is duck shoved from position to position as his superiors try to ignore the fact that he has an annoying capacity to solve cases. He has never heard of political correctness, is lazy, bigoted and just a bit corrupt. This is however, a funny and complex mystery, a page turner as you cannot believe how he goes about life. I don't think I want to meet him, but I enjoyed very much reading his story. Another good find!
