review 1: Yeah, OK, another flawed, alcoholic detective who's propped up by people who can't help wanting to look after him, including a young and talented colleague and the woman who can't let him go. Despite that, I like the twisty plots, the exotic location, the sheer heft of them. I like a lot of words since I read so stupidly fast. The scenery, places and characters are developed and interesting and although one baddie is clearly identified fairly early on, the rest are suitably obscured, with red herrings (hah! appropriate fish) galore. I learned a fair bit about the politics of the second world war, too.
review 2: finished Red Breast and Nemesis and read Snowman a while back, which is brilliant! Nemesis slightly less brilliant but warmed right up to a "couldn't pu
... moret it down" book in the last third. His plots, the twists and turns are excellent, his characters are also very real. I love this guy, the author, even more than Harry!I have now completed the final book, Devil's Star, and again it warned up to a frenzy toward the end. Another brilliant book by a clever writer. I can't wait to start to next one. less

This is a great collection... I have added my comments to each book individually as I read them...

The plots are interesting but the translation is not up to some other Scandinavian novels.

Read the Redbreast best one of the first 3 books. Looking forward to #4.
