which jo nesbo?

[marissab]

I loved dragon tattoo and someone recommended jo nesbo books. Should i start with the harry series or headhunters is under £4 at the mo. Any thoughts. I never saw the film so dunno if headhunters is good or not.

I've only read the snowman. It was very enjoyable.

I didn't really enjoy Headhunters, but love the Harry Hole series...Nesbo's writing style really improves as you work through them but I think the early plots are better. I appreciate that's not much help

The Harry Hole series is good, but I did find the end of Phantom quite harrowing. The Bat has just come out in paperback, and that's the first in the series chronologically. I haven't read it yet though so can't say whether it's a good one.

The Snowman is great, as is the Leopard. I haven't read the Bat or the Phantom but they are on my list.
Head hunters is about something else and supposed to be a bit rubbish.

You should start with the Red Breast IMO - the later Harry Hole books are better if you've read them in order

My first post here...I agree with Penelope because the plots follow on so it's important you read them in order to get the most out of them.

I like the Harry hole series, but I would recommend reading them in order, because it all ratchets up as it goes along. There is some ongoing plotting too. They can be a bit harrowing...I skim read large parts to miss the worst of it!
I am def a massive wimp though!

They are on sale on the book people website.6books for 7 or 8 pounds. Hth

Ooo thanks jilly
