Oh my word... I am enjoying the story so far.
Had to comment on this chapter, though. It appears to me that the research was sub-par regarding Swedish people. I have never met or heard of people named Torsten and Ingalill who weren't born in like the 40's and 50's. Also, coincidentally, that was probably the last generation with less than adequate knowledge of the English language. We start studying English at the age of 10 and during the next 9+ years (depending on if you go to university or not) we learn to speak the language fairly well. It is an impossibility to find a Swedish teenager of normal intellectual capacity who doesn't speak English decently.
So this chapter read more like a parody than anything else, I'm afraid to say. Or like you've been watching too many Ingmar Bergman films from the 60's. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it has no bearing on today's reality.
Alright, I need to carry on with the murder/mystery story. How funny that my initial disappointment over the lack of any love interests here has turned into wanting to know what happens with the story line. Although, couldn't we at least have found out whether Torsten was a good kisser?
