This was a struggle for me to get through but I did want to know how it played out. While there are a few twists and turns to try to throw you off who the Snowman really is, I was pretty close in my guesses. I felt like this book dragged a bit and being a translation some of the language was challenging for me to get through without really focusing (including the Norwegian names). If you like a good police mystery/thriller you might enjoy this but it wasn’t my favorite.

So many twists and turns that you’ll never see the ending coming. The characters are all well developed and the mystery intriguing.

Norwegian Serial Killer Crime Mystery . . . I want more of this.
It's tight. There aren't any wasted words, loose ends, or dead-end plot twists. It's all there and it's good. Really good for what it is. I'm not a frequent mystery reader, but when it's this good I'll make an exception. And it was this good.
I can't really do anything here except spoil it. So I will end by saying that you just can't figure out who did it. Or, at least I couldn't.

I've not read many of this kind of novel, but it's my assumption that 90% of what really makes a detective/sleuth book work is the plot. This has got that in spades. As I was close to finishing it I found out there is a movie version on the way. I'm interested to see how well it translates to the medium. The major imagery of the book works because of good writing, but could easily look silly on film.
