The Hanging: A Thriller - Lotte Hammer,  Soren Hammer Unlike the better chunk of Nordic Noir authors, I found myself unable to warm up to this book and the authors' writing style. I found myself frequently distracted and just bored with the story. Not sure why, it did have some pretty twisted scenes in it that I liked. I am not sure if I didn't like the way it translated or what. I simply can't put my finger on the book at this point.
