One of my favourite series & maybe my expectations were unrealistic following "The Son" & "Police" which were both amazing reads. Took a while to get into this one. Harry Hole is in a reflective mood due to a personal crisis & the reemergence of a killer he failed to catch in a previous case. But Nesbo is the master of creating intricate story lines with plenty of misdirection to keep you guessing. After a slow & over long first half, it finally caught fire & the last quarter is a full on page turner. The ending guarantees I'll be waiting on the next instalment.
