The 2nd Harry Hole series has been published in English out of sequence. "Cockroaches" is the 2nd in the series and build's Harry character even further.

Nesbø spent a lot of effort building up to the ending, but then it fell flat. That won't stop me from reading more. I enjoyed Harry, the suspense, and the story.

Better than the first one, but I'm still waiting for this series to get better as the reviewers say will happen.

Not a bad read although not sure why Hole hasn’t been pensioned off by the police force. Some fairly gruesome (to me) details especially if you have a tendency to read while eating.

Though second in the series of Harry Hole, it is my last. I've read all 10 and loved them all.
