    Perhaps the most disappointing book by Jo Nesbo featuring the character Harry Hole. The story is long and lacking in many points. Perhaps the main reason was the adoption of a narrative that works well in movies but loses a lot in writing, or at least in this particular book. The ending, honestly, couldn't be more cliché. I thought I was reading a Harlequin novel, unless the author intends to deconstruct the character from the first page of the next book. I also found the "exit" of some key characters in the series to be very poorly executed, but I can't dwell on it too much because it would be a major spoiler. This particular book seems to be the middle of a mini trilogy (possibly even more) and I have the impression that it wasn't the best connecting link. I hope THIRST, which is the next one, proves to be a better continuation.

  • Together with Thirst, I think it is the best Nesbo's book with the protagonist being Hole.

Description & Specifications

The police need Harry Hole because a killer is roaming the streets of Oslo, murdering police officers. Specifically, the victims are found at crime scenes that have gone unsolved. The murders are violent, and the media's reaction is hysterical.

The eternal Harry, a detective by nature, has been involved in all the major criminal investigations of recent years in Oslo. Guided by his very personal sense of justice, loyal to what he loves, and determined to defend it, this time he seems lost and powerless.

Will he manage to surpass himself once again as the shipwreck of his personal life has sunk him to the bottom?
