The Snowman
by Jo Nesbø
Good introduction to the Harry Hole series!
I'm glad I read this book and I'll be starting at the beginning of the series. I did not care for Harry Hole by the middle of the book but then his character was better for me by the end. I have a feeling this is due to not knowing his backstory, why he battles alcoholism, why he's a lone wolf and some of the personal demons he struggles with. Once I get more information about his character, I'm sure I'm going to love this guy.
So my advice is to start at the beginning of the series so you understand Harry Hole and all the other characters in the Oslo Police Department, along with his personal relationship with Rakel and Oleg.
I loved how the book took us along on the case of catching the Snowman. Going through each clue, a new person of interest and getting hidden information about the victims. I enjoyed Jo Nesbo's writing style on building up the mystery and tension of who the Snowman was. There were a few plot twists in the book that I figured out but it was still well done!
I wish that I knew Norway better and how to pronounce the names of all the cities and towns along with the characters names! I struggled with that a bit and I guess I need to travel to Norway one day! Woohoo! :)
I recommend this book to people that enjoy crime thrillers and mysteries!
