توضیحات
Internationally acclaimed crime writer Jo Nesbø’s antihero police investigator, Harry Hole, is back: in a bone-chilling thriller that will take Hole to the brink of insanity.
Oslo in November. The first snow of the season has fallen. A boy named Jonas wakes in the night to find his mother gone. Out his window, in the cold moonlight, he sees the snowman that inexplicably appeared in the yard earlier in the day. Around its neck is his mother’s pink scarf.
Hole suspects a link between a menacing letter he’s received and the disappearance of Jonas’s mother—and of perhaps a dozen other women, all of whom went missing on the day of a first snowfall. As his investigation deepens, something else emerges: he is becoming a pawn in an increasingly terrifying game whose rules are devised—and constantly revised—by the killer.
Fiercely suspenseful, its characters brilliantly realized, its atmosphere permeated with evil, The Snowman is the electrifying work of one of the best crime writers of our time.
From the Hardcover edition.

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.
