Overall my least favourite Scandinavian crime thriller I’ve read, so I’m struggling to see how this author and series are so popular and critically acclaimed.

This was a struggle for me to get through but I did want to know how it played out. While there are a few twists and turns to try to throw you off who the Snowman really is, I was pretty close in my guesses. I felt like this book dragged a bit and being a translation some of the language was challenging for me to get through without really focusing (including the Norwegian names). If you like a good police mystery/thriller you might enjoy this but it wasn’t my favorite.

Norwegian Serial Killer Crime Mystery . . . I want more of this.
It's tight. There aren't any wasted words, loose ends, or dead-end plot twists. It's all there and it's good. Really good for what it is. I'm not a frequent mystery reader, but when it's this good I'll make an exception. And it was this good.
I can't really do anything here except spoil it. So I will end by saying that you just can't figure out who did it. Or, at least I couldn't.
