An interesting idea wasted on a fairly standard whodunnit. The idea of a country between Denmark and Britain, with equal parts Scandinavian, Dutch and British heritage (though none of it apparently going back further than the 19th century or so), promises more worldbuilding than Adolfsson is interested in - it could just as well have been set in any coastal town in Scandinavia or Scotland, with a few small details changed - and the case itself isn't up to much. I like some of the character work, but... that's about it.
