Description

In the heart of Oslo, the first snowfall blankets the city in an eerie stillness, setting the stage for a haunting tale. A boy named Jonas finds himself awakened by an unsettling presence in the crisp night air, prompting an unforgettable journey into the depths of mystery and fear. The snow, soft and deceptive, becomes a silent witness to the dark secrets lurking beneath the surface of the seemingly peaceful town.

As the atmospheric chill grips the city, Jonas’s curiosity and innocence lead him deeper into a chilling enigma. The story unfolds through a blend of suspense and psychological thrills, as the author masterfully weaves together the starkness of winter with the intricacies of human emotion. With each twist, Jonas unravels layers of truth that reveal the darker side of human nature, leaving a trail of intrigue and dread in the snowy landscape of Oslo.

Major misogynistic overtones and unchallenged sexism made this a tough read. (Think male authors writing women Twitter feed) Had some redemption in the small bits of action and atmosphere we got.

This is my first Harry Hole book, I was genuinely impressed with Jo Nesbo's writing he kept the plot moving and the reader guessing. Harry Hole, a police investigator with the Oslo crime squad. Hole an alcoholic and heavy smoker, he's fighting to keep alcoholism is under control. Harry doesn't suffer fools and is often in conflict with his superiors and some colleagues. It's hard not to recognize that Harry Hole is a brilliant detective.I give this book 4 1/2 stars.
