Murder in the Dark sports a winning combination of engaging crime
narrative and cool, unsentimental appraisal of Scandinavian society
(as seen through the eyes of its shabby, unconventional anti-hero).
There are elements of the book which now seem quite as relevant as
when they were written, and like all the most accomplished writing
in the Nordic Noir field, there is an acute and well-observed sense
of place throughout the novel. The descriptions of Copenhagen
channel the poetic sensibility which is the author's own:
'Copenhagen is at its most beautiful when seen out of a taxi at
midnight, right at that magical moment when one day dies and
another is born, and the printing presses are buzzing with the
morning newspapers.'
