review 1: In so many ways, this book wasn't what I wanted. Maybe it was the gory dismemberment of young mothers that started the aversion.In the Redbreast, the culprit was so difficult to identify that it kept me guessing until the very end. I was stumped, then hooked on Harry Hole.Here, so much was obvious early on. And in my current obsession - listening to Serial - you realize that true crime means you never know the truth. Pure evil is actually not so compelling as the complication of real people that aren't good or bad, and who change over time, and we change how we view them. It made this book seem so trite.And, I always skim the action at the end, the race to save Rakel, or Oleg, or Oleg and Rakel.I had high hopes that this would be the best Nesbo yet. But for all of th... moree reasons above, the book felt fatuous with rational holes everywhere.
review 2: Book 7 in the Harry Hole series.Too many woman are missing... and the only clue is that sometimes there is a snowman in front of the homes of the missing women. When a woman turns up missing in Oslo, Harry Hole thinks something nefarious is going on and begins to investigate.This was my first Jo Nesbo book. I will be reading more. It was quite a brain twister and I thought I knew who the killer was, doubted myself, changed my mind, went back to my first thought, etc. It was really interesting and a disturbing read.On an aside, after reading this book I was driving home after a snowfall and saw a snowman some kids had built in a yard... and the only thing I could think was, "That is the creepiest thing I have ever seen." Yep. After reading this book, snowmen now creep me out. less
