Cockroaches by Jo Nesbø
3.0

I like Nesbø's thrillers, and this one went very well too until the rapid finale, where the logic of the events - impeccable in itself - started to be obscured by presumable jumps in temporal sequences and hiding details that were if not essential then at least rather helpful for understanding what is going on. Happens when you try not to give too much away and end up with providing the reader with too little. The Thailand we are presented with is also a fairly touristic version of the country, but given that Hole arrived there unprepared, this would correspond to his perception.
