“An elegant and complex thriller….Harrowingly beautiful.”—New York Times Book Review“A hugely impressive achievement—ambitious in scope, and skilled in execution.”—Los Angeles Times“The Redbreast certainly ranks with the best of current American crime fiction.”—Washington PostNo disrespect meant to Henning Mankell and Stieg Larsson, but Jo Nesbø, the New York Times bestselling author of The Snowman, is the most exciting Scandinavian thriller writer in the crime fiction business. The Redbreast is a fabulous introduction to Nesbø’s tough-as-nails series protagonist, Oslo police detective Harry Hole. A brilliant and epic novel, breathtaking in its scope and design—winner of The Glass Key for best Nordic crime novel and selected as the best Norwegian crime novel ever written by members of Norway’s book clubs—The Redbreast is a chilling tale of murder and betrayal that ranges from the battlefields of World War Two to the streets of modern-day Oslo. Follow Hole as he races to stop a killer and disarm a ticking time-bomb from his nation’s shadowy past. Vogue magazine says that “nobody can delve into the dark, twisted mind of a murderer better than a Scandinavian thriller writer”…and nobody does it better than Jo Nesbø! James Patterson fans should also take note.

Ciekawym zaczął być temat tajemnic z przeszłości. Później znowu zaczęło być nudno. Zaintrygowały mnie medyczne opisy choroby psychicznej. I już ...
German and english reviewFirst things first: I received this book through NetGalley. Das wird meine letzte Buchbewertung dieses Jahr. Ich bin so froh, dass ich das Buch heute fertig lesen konnte und damit, abgesehen von dem Hörbuch das ich gerade gehe, vollkommen frei und ohne angefangene Bücher i...
Ο Nesbo έχει ταλέντο στο να αποτυπώνει την οξυδερκή του εικόνα της κοινωνικής πραγματικότητας και των παθογενειών της κι επιδεξιότητα στο να συνυφαίνει τα ατομικά κι ιδιωτικά με τα μεγαλύτερα πολιτικά και κοινωνικά προβλήματα της εποχής του.
This is the story about Harry finding the love of his life. Also, struggling with a loss of a loved one. And the suspicion of an assassination plan with the sale of a powerful rifle with 100% kill rate. Interesting story. He has a female partner Ellen that he like, but doesn't like him that w...
Finished: I waffled between 3 & 4 stars for this book. I liked it, but I can't say that I loved it. Perhaps because the book is 16 years old at this point, and I've read a lot of Nordic Noir in those intervening years, it doesn't feel particularly groundbreaking to me. This is potentially unfair, ...
