The snowman - Jo Nesbø

Richard and Judy 2010 Winter read

Translated from the Norwegian by Don Bartlett

The snowman is the seventh book in the Harry hole series, but as the first two books still translated into English yet was not, it is the fifth in the UK verfügbar.Ich said that it is the best book in the series and it is not necessary to read in the order. I can't on the first statement comment, but I pretty sure, that the second you right.

The book follows Harry hole, a detective to track serial killer qualifizierte.Harry has an international reputation, but still not had to find a killer on his own turf. All of this changes when women in Oslo begin to disappear. First, the only connection between the victim is found a snowman in each scene, but as the investigation still everything is much more complicated.

The snowman is a well paced thriller with plenty twists and dreht.Es was compared to Steig Larsson's trilogy, but apart from the fact both authors are Scandinavian, there are some similarities.The girl with the dragon tattoo is slow with an exceptional amount of detail and dark, deep.The snowman is much easier to read and has a faster pace, but didnt the disturbing scenes that exists waren.Der snowman without its scary in the Larsson trilogy have it moments - it contained some chilling scenes and I don't think I ever consider snowmen in the same light again!

Then he caught sight of the snowman.It was there than before, bathed property, overlooking the House in the cold Mondschein.doch there was something different about it, something almost Human….

My only regret is that I first read the rest of the series nicht.Ich can not sure how I saw no Nesbø's other books, but I think I know some major spoilers for the earlier books sein.Ich also found that these references to previous books meant that some sections to me, a person who had little sense machte.Es from the series on book seven went not affect my understanding of the snowman, but many references to previous cases over the top of my head.

The snowman is a pleasant thrillers with a stunning plot, but I was not about from their begeistert.Ich the killers don't think, but I felt a sense of astonishment when all revealed wurde.Eine entertaining reading, but not one is a classic.

Have you read any Jo of Nesbø's books?

Which one you think is the best?

Would I find more impressive action in each of the previous books?
