We loved it. The characters, the subtle turns in the story, everything in fact. The psycholigical depth. But, we have one question. We would like to know how Van Veeteren knew that Rolf Ringmar’s ( alias Carl Ferger) also mudered Ellen Caine in Toronto, Canada before Rolf confesses to it on pages 262- 266? On pages 240-241, he, Van Veeteren, has all the six names of Rolf”s victims – the sixth being Elizabeth Hennan. So, somewhere earlier in the book Van Veeteren had to have somehow linked Ellen Caine to Rolf. But where and how? Thanks, Rob I have just finished reading The Mind’s Eye with my class. We loved it.

It is a superb ending. If you remember, Mitter was staying and was eventually murdered at Majorna Hospital. During his stay there, he suddenly remembers the the identity of Eva's killer. He then writes the name down in the Bible...somewhere near the Book of Mark. In fact, he writes it in the Book of Luke. At the end of the story, a patient finds the name written down in the Bible. The patient then tells, Ingrun, a male nurse at the hospital, about what she found. Of course the patient has no idea of who Carl Ferger is or what atrocities he's committed. But she is very upset because she feels that someone has desecrated the Bible. The irony is that the identity of Mitter's killer was just waiting to be found by the police; but alas they, the police, never checked the Bible. It could have saved them a lot of trouble and even Elizabeth Hennan's life had they discovered it earlier. Did Chief Inspector Van Veeteren miss or overlook something here? Maybe. No one's perfect!

Looking forward to the next book. BUT I must admit - I didn't get the last page (Ch 45). Who is Ingrun and who is the woman? Just finished Mind’s Eye and enjoyed it very much.

I am enrolled in an English class on Popular Crime....I have to give report and I plan to do it on this writer! I like it because he has such a clean writing style. Some detective fiction is so complicated! I discovered this writer while brousing in a used bookstore.
