- A revenge story: already seen in Mercy;
- A right-wing conspiracy already seen in Stieg Larsson, Jo Nesbø ...
Consequently, the plot is quite predictable.
Furthermore, the charming novels Adler-Olsen also took to their characters, in less endearing, their humor (something rare in Scandinavian literature), less present here.
In the end, four stars anyway (but only just), in flashback chapters devoted to the life of Nete Hermansen being quite successful.
