The Snowman by Jo Nesbø
3.0
I continue my love-like relationship with this police detective series --I've read seven out of seven in the order they were written and published in Norway. I continue to like Harry, the work-obsessed police inspector, a sometimes-recovering alcoholic. These are great airplane and airport books. It's easy to lose yourself in the story. The writing is more than competent, and sometimes I get a big dose of atmosphere, sensing an essence of Norway, which I have never visited.
Compared with others in the series, this is in the "better" pile. It does not introduce any over-the-limit complications in the plot (the worst one for that was The Redbreast), but it did keep me guessing for most of the book, and it throws in a pretty good red herring too.
I know now I will keep on reading this series. I read very, very little detective or crime fiction, but the Harry Hole series has just the right mix to keep me coming back.
