Detective Harry hole book No. 6 sees a once again single but also trying to stay off of the wagon Harry Hole get caught up in the hunt for The Redeemer a clinical and very professional hit-man targeting a prminennt member of the Salvation Army. Set in a snowy and cold Oslo in setting filled with junkies, junkie support, police and police politics and enlighteningly the Salvation Army, Nesbø yet again weaves such a detailed, complex multi-character driven story that all wraps up in the end giving me the reader great satisfaction with their effort s as always. Although a multi-volume series, it must be one of the consistently well written/translated reads in the wonderful sub-genre of Nordic Noir.

First, I am amazed by your reading spectrum. Second, great review of a thriller without spoilers.👍I have had mixed reactions when it comes to the Nordic way of expression, especially with mythological deliveries.
I've never actually read a single Nordic Noir. 😐 I have a copy of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo somewhere. Your review inspired me to find it and read it.

Such kind words, thank you PB. I do go out of my way not to reveal anything more of a book than what's already been revealed in the blurb.
I believe The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo initial trilogy is the best crime fiction/noir trilogy ever written :)
