Blood on Snow
by Jo Nesbø
A departure from the norm for Nesbo with Olav, a man tasked with killing a woman he then develops feelings for.
I’m still reeling from reading this. It’s very graphic and that I know is a Nesbo speciality but still… I found it strange that I was starting to worry and wonder about someone who’s just told me he kills people for a living. A killer with a conscious? I’d never read about a man who killed as he wasn’t good at anything else. A man with dyslexia and other issues seems hellbent of doing this hideous job. Just when you think he’s human – he does something violent. The novel is short and almost reads like a novella but it does set the scene for a follow up later in the year.
I rattled through this as it’s an accessible read but I’m still shocked by that ending.
