I like Hakan Nesser's sense of humour. He is most well known for the Van Veeteren mysteries, a series of novels set in a fictional northern European country that is never named and has elements of the Netherlands, Scandinavia, the Baltic coast and others. This novel however is the complete opposite set in a very specific place, a tiny hamlet on Exmoor. huge amount of detail on the landscape, area and walks around the environs. Also a cracking read with an excellent denouement. Does a book set in Devon qualify as Scandi noir though?
