Cockroaches
by Jo Nesbø
Cockroaches is the second novel in this series. Detective Hole is sent to Thailand to investigate the murder of the Norwegian ambassador, plunging him into a world where the lines between right and wrong are not always straightforward. As the story progresses, Harry continues to evolve and grow as a character and is one step closer to Harry from the later novels that we all know and love.
The pacing is well-executed, with the plot steadily building momentum as the layers of the mystery unfold. The plot twists are not predictable like in some other crime novels, and Nesbo kept me guessing until the final pages. Similar to his other novels, this one again boasts an intricate plot, however, there are moments where the narrative feels slightly convoluted, and the intricacies of the plot are challenging to follow. I had to go back several times to check the facts and some of the characters’ names. Additionally, the themes covered are definitely on the darker side and definitely not suitable for those seeking a lighter read.
All things considered this is a good prequel, but I like his later novels better.
