jlrmac 's review for:

Blood on Snow by Jo Nesbø

3.0

---

I downloaded this ebook because I've read several Harry Hole novels written by Nesbo. I knew nothing about this book and was surprised by how taut, fast-moving, and short the story was. The voice of the character is very strong in this story, and somehow this unique, paid hit-man came across as sympathetic. He was complex and simple at the same time. I liked that way the story was really about the stories we have heard, believe, and made up. Poignant. I read it in one afternoon. I also had downloaded the audio version and started to listen to it but I found the narrator's style very flat and unappealing. I read the print version first and felt the character's voice came through much more strongly there.
