I dearly love Mr Nesbo and Mr Hole both, however Nemesis I felt was an underachiever. The story revolves around an intricate plot to disguise a murder as a bank robbery, and implicate Harry as a suspect.

While this may sound suitably fascinating and complex the majority of the story is too much yak and not enough action. Normally I wouldn't complain about a lack of focus on a detective's love life, but Harry usually delivers on this and didn't in this book. Nor does he go off on any sort of bender or at least struggle with his demons (which I guess can't happen every novel, but is still missed)

A tiny amount of page time on enemy Tom W was not enough to maintain interest in the ongoing neo-nazi plot. The finale almost redeems the novel but at 700~ pages one needs more than a good ending.
