5.0

I was again pleasantly surprised by how Nesbø managed to immerse me into Thai culture without sidelining the fact that Detective Hole was on assignment from Norway. I also enjoyed getting a deeper insight into Hole's family life that was briefly mentioned in the first book.

I appreciated Nesbø's dry witticisms/humour in this book as always

The mystery itself had SO many twists, which you will enjoy immensely. I'm very much looking forward to book 3!
