The Snowman by Jo Nesbø is a solid crime book. I like how the plot unravels and all the ups and downs in the investigation, the insight in killer mind and he ending. I only dislike one specific situation in book, but I don’t want to give any spoilers! I haven’t read all the previous books about Harry Hole, just the firs two, but I didn’t really feel that I was missing something. It could be as well stand alone book.
What I didn’t like is the way the author portraits female characters. Most of the time they are shallow and usually thinking about nothing other then sex. There were a few dialogues where I thought ‘OMG, only man could write that!’ But beside that it was very nice book.
I was hooked in the last 150 pages and couldn’t put it down. If you looking for a good crime story you can give it a shot!
