earwicker 's review for:

Police by Jo Nesbø
4.0

Nesbo shows once again that he is not afraid to play with his readers like a cat with a roach. Nor is he squeamish about killing his darlings, his deft ability to resurrect them notwithstanding. The plot here is winding and twisted, and there are a few loose ends that dangle in ways that suggest the next installment, but these annoying tendencies are canceled out by the way he propels the story forward. Police is a thriller, but at times it threatens to cross the line into horror. Even so, or perhaps because so, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see Harry Hole hit the small screen one of these days. I can't imagine who could play Harry though...
