Jo Nesbo - The Snowman

[TwoIfBySea]

No one singing in this book for sure!

Crime fiction isn't really my thing but I watched and then read Wallander so picked this up as another Scandinavian themed book.

I don't know if it is just me but I'm scared sh**less in parts and I'm not yet half way through. I will never, ever, ever look at a snowman in the same way again and if it is facing my house...

Are his other books like this?

oooh sounds promising! Got this for christmas and as soon I has have finished hardgoing Girl who Kicked a Hornets Nest I will start it.

I have the book, I bought it then forgot about it ooo sounds like a good read if it scary.I love scary books.

I devoured all of the truly scary Stephen King books when I was a teen. I can read John Ajvide Lindqvist's books (Let The Right One In, Handling The Undead) without nightmares. Yet this one...

I won't put in spoilers but there are a few scenes so far that have had me bring the dog into my room at night and I have absolutely no idea where the book is going because of it!

I was like that with the last book I read and I my dd has to have lights on upsatirs of a night and I was secretly glad as I was soo scared.But I will have to find where my dh put the snowman as I remember him telling me off for leaving it lying around

His books are generally quite gruesome, but this one more so (it also is building on the previous ones...)

What other books of his are good then?

Damn, should I have read the previous one's first. Are they about Harry Hole being at the FBI and Australia?

Nope - they are all post the Australia/FBI stuff, but about his relationship with whatshername and Olaf. The first one (I think?) is Robin Redbreast. There are others:
The Redeemer,
Devils Star
and another one - can't remember title (check Amazon!) I guess he might do a novel about the OZ stuff later.....
Watch out for this if they ever show it again - all about Nordic Crime fiction.

Dp has just read it and said it was pretty gruesome. he was disappointed at how soon he guessed, 'Who dunnit.'

I got this a couple of weeks ago from library.Ws dissaponted.Guessed who dunnit by the swcond chapter.Much prefer the wallender novels.

Yeay I found it, it was in my shoe box, I will try start reading it tomorrow

Ooh, I have this on my Kindle. Will start when DH is no longer doing night shift. Although the chances of there being a snowman in the desert are decidedly slim...
