The Redbreast by Jo Nesbø
3.0
3.5 stars
It is always great fun to read a well-crafted and intricately plotted mystery, but add a bit of historical fiction, realistic character development, and a strange and new setting (in this case Norway) and it is no longer just guilty fun but also an immersive and (slightly) educational experience. Having said that, some parts of the plot are a bit hard to swallow, and the final twist is a bit disappointing.
