The Leopard (Harry Hole #8)

December 23, 2012 by Drew

The Short Version: Harry Hole, after the disastrous fallout from his battle against The Snowman, has disappeared into the opium haze of Hong Kong’s Chungking Mansions.  But the hint of another serial killer in Oslo pulls him back – and this time, Harry might not be ready for what he’s returning to.  Faced with inter-office politics, a dying father, and a barely controlled substance abuse problem, it’s all he can do to keep up with the investigation – and even […]

The Snowman (Harry Hole #7)

July 6, 2012 by Drew

The Short Version: Harry Hole, the only detective in Norway (apparently) to’ve apprehended a serial killer, is targeted – in a way – by the first true serial killer to hit the Nordic streets.  But the killer is willing to break his pattern in order to mess with Harry and after heading down several rabbit holes, Harry is at his wits end… and the killer has saved the very best for last, threatening to tear apart Harry’s very soul. The Review: […]

The Devil’s Star (Harry Hole #5)

May 29, 2011 by Drew

The Short Version: At the end of his rope, Detective Harry Hole looks like he’s finally blown every act of goodwill or camaraderie anyone has offered him.  About to be fired from the police force and having seen his airtight case against Waaler fizzle out, his salvation – of sorts – comes in the form of a serial killer stalking the streets of Oslo.  Meanwhile, his nemesis Waaler has offered him a partnership and he’s managed to stop drinking long enough […]

Nemesis (Harry Hole #4)

February 20, 2011 by Drew

The Short Version: Months after the death of his partner at the end of The Redbreast, Detective Harry Hole is back.  A string of bank robberies begin in Oslo and Harry’s trying to figure out what happened the night he went over to see an old flame – who ends up dead that very night.  He’s got a new partner – of sorts – and that bastard Waaler breathing down his neck.  A drink might not be so bad, then… […]

The Redbreast (Harry Hole #3)

August 25, 2010 by Drew

Jo Nesbø looks like Jason Statham.  Just wanted to get that out there right away. This is apparently the third book in the Harry Hole series – the first two, however, have yet to be published in the US.  Harper has published the fourth and fifth books, however, and I’ve got a copy of Nemesis sitting on my to-read shelf right now.  I actually won these two books from a contest at The Olive Reader, making them the third contest […]
