So, my spouse dragged me to Florida for a week. Her sister lives in a motel, just a block from Hollywood Beach, and they had a vacancy. So we joined her.

Believe or not, but you can benefit from being late for the party: One month ago I didn't know about the existence of the internationally acclaimed mystery writer from Norway Jo Nesbø and wanted immediately to read more by this author. That means I HAD to start with his Harry Hole series. And here I...
Harry got off the plane and landed in Australia. A blond Norwegian woman was killed in Australia and Harry was sent to Sydney to investigate the crime. The local police treated Harry as person for show only. But he partner up with a Aboriginal detective. Things go wild from there. As it is the...
