A really tight Crime novel. My first Jo Nesbo, they've constructed a likeable character in Harry Hole. It's not a four star book for me... because I really dislike the action sequences. Knowing as I do that this is a long running series... the threat of the main character doesn't feel particularly pressing and I worry that this character will shrug off trauma after trauma. It's a shame because the combination of compelling characters and tight plot makes this book pretty irresistable. Nesbo is a master at leading the reader to the conclusions he wants us to make and then pulling the rug out from underneath our feet.
I know that I will be reading more.
