Took a while to get into this, and was hoping it would be like a modern day Martin Beck which it didn’t quite get to, but certainly gripped me by mid way through. This was my first Jo Nesbo and although this is a standalone story, I think I would have enjoyed more if I had started at the beginning of the series or at least with The Snowman.
