I picked this book up from my local TK Maxx or TJ maxx and loved every page! Jo Nesbo is a brilliant author and it was my first time reading one of his books but I now intend on reading more of his books with the main character Harry Hole. The book is a murder mystery which leaves you wanting more and more with great attention to detail in the fields of crime and medicine. Love, action and horror, a perfect read to curl up to at night, bonus points for reading it in the winter as the main theme is set around snowy terrain. 10/10
