The Snowman
by Jo Nesbø
Definitely a 4 star read for me although I was hoping it would be a five star. Perhaps I had expected more of this one and I had anticipated reading it for a long while now as I’ve been reading Jo Nesbo’s Harry Hole series in order and have absolutely loved all of them. Something was slightly amiss in this for me and I say slightly because I really did enjoy reading it and am looking forward to watching the film version on Netflix now!
I found The Snowman one of Nesbo’s easier to follow Harry Hole thrillers and I rarely had to turn back to reread some aspect to make sure I understood the plot development. However there was something a little cliche for me about the plot line and the ending came as no surprise and I found myself hurrying through the last chapters as I felt like I knew what was going to happen. There were a few plot twists that took me by surprise and a few well written red herring pathways that melded well in the story.
All in all a great read an awesome one to start 2020 with. And Harry Hole is truly one of my fave detectives in Scandi Noir.
