Better than I initially expected! There was too much pregnancy stuff for my liking, but I can't really complain as pregnant crime investigators are basically nonexistent in literature (the voice was important to hear). You can see that the book was written in the 90s by the way some stuff is outdated and many serious issues are not handled adequately (by today's standards), but the book also offered an interesting insight into the last decade of Finnish history that I didn't yet exist to experience. Can't believe that restraining orders weren't a thing here in 1997, wth??
