Interesting story, difficult reader.

I enjoyed the story with good action and an interesting monster. The narrator, however, seemed to be channeling a poor Philip Marlowe voice. His versions of accents were lackluster and nearly nonexistent, making an Aussie sound like a faded Boston, MA. Seeing as the main story takes place in Scandinavia, the local characters had almost no accents at all. I like to feel myself immersed in a story and having all the voices nearly identical did not lend to that immersion.
