Did have another Jo Nesbo along on my Denmark holiday.

Fast story which sucks up any argument that says you can put the book away for some time.

Back to another genre

We are going for the grand finale of this so far amazing book.

Everything eventually gets personal.

The killer strikes again

A convicted serial killer who wants a chance at redemption now that similar murders are happening close to his release. And of course the Police suspecting his involvement. All this in a very taste Basque flavor.

The second set of murders have been commited and the town of Vitoria in Basqueland is in panic as they were 20 odd years ago when a murderer killed in a similar style.

The story opens with finding 2 naked youngsters in the local cathedral and the young inspector and profiler Unai Lopez de Ayala is called. These murders feel like a continuation from a serial killer who is caught and still in jail. And so the story begins.

A woman's corps has been found in similar circumstances as in Mara & Eva their first murdercase so thinking copycat the team travels to the north of Italy .

Clara Pontecorvo all 1.98 meters tall works for the Police she has taken on the missing case of a young woman and when a missing woman is found it reminds her of the similarity with a case on Sardinia.

Having read the first two installments of this Italian written crimeseries translated in my native dutch language and being impressed it was a no-brainer when the third novel was released I would pick it up. The team with Mara Rais, Eva Croce, Vito Strega & Bepi Pavan have become a special unit for serial murders. And so the fun begins.........

The last 100 pages mark has been passed so the end is near.

An easy and enjoyable read, Nesbo knows how to write a decent tale.

Harry got a promotion and there is a second storyline about young Norwegian national socialists in WW2.

Appropriate reading in scandi-noir when visiting a country like Denmark. It is going to be fun my Danish is not worthy noting while the people we met so far speak nothing but.
Harry Hole has a whole different set of problems somebody wants to kill the leader of the free world.

No reading done in two days, travelling through Germany towards Ebeltoft Denmark with wife and dog, who loves travelling by car. He will probably go nuts when hé goes to the beach later today.

Chapter three

The molten earth - about the center of the earth and ending with earth tectonics a chapter with little travelogue but more theories about geology and history. Interesting for anybody who fancies a bit of science.

Now a corrupt judge has been taken by the serial killer, and Mara, Eva & Vito now know that their unknown opponent has raised the stakes in his quest for social chaos.
