Oh man. Jo Nesbo knows how to write a thriller. I had to stop and leave it every couple of chapters. I knew that what was coming wasn’t pretty. Or easy to read. But still. Even after 10 books, the 11th still evokes the same feelings that I had, reading the first.

I am a huge fan of Jo Nesbø's work, both the standalone novels as well as the Harry Hole series. Heck, there were times when I almost fell in love with Harry Hole. But not this time. How excited I was to find out that Hole was back, more than three years after the last book was published, how disappointed I am after having read the last page. Sure, Harry hole is in the book. And sure, the well known other characters are in there as well. And sure, there is a brilliant case to be solved, one which leads to unexpected twists and turns. And still.... I couldn't help but feel that this book was different. Like it "had to be" written but that Nesbø's soul wasn't in there. Like someone else wrote parts of it. The case was intense enough, though seemed messy and conclusions and solutions suddenly appeared out of nowhere, just to make the story work. A little far fetched from time to time. Too long too. I don't know, it just didn't work for me like the other books in the series did. A pitty. Harry Hole is not who he used to be....

Another solid Harry Hole mystery that left a bit of a cliffhanger that may or may not be pursued. Interesting story with nice modern inclusion of Tinder.

Another good read in this fantastic suspenseful series. I am intrigued by a new thing in Harry's life and I can't wait to see what Mr. Nesbo does with it.

Harry Hole er tilbake! Jeg som trodde "Politi" skulle bli den siste, men så feil man kan ta. Harry har sluttet ved politiet og jobber som foreleser istedet. Skjønt når damer på Tinder dater begynner å dukke opp myrdet på det mest grusomme vis, så lar han seg overtales å komme tilbake for å hjelpe til. Det antas at det dreier seg om en vampyrist, noen med smak for blod. For å danne seg et bedre bilde blir en ledende ekspert på området hanket inn.
Tidvis er dette meget spennende. Jeg ble lurt trill rundt, skjønt en av mine to hovedmistenkte viste seg i hvert fal lå være den skyldige. Bare ikke ham jeg bestemte meg for! Det er helt tydelig at historien om Hole ikke slutter her. En ny fiende kommer på banen i slutten av boka, og hvordan det skal gå med Rakel og Oleg er fortsatt åpent. Jeg hadde så gjerne ønsket at det ville slutte bra for Harry, det var derfor jeg håpet "Politi" var siste boka. Det blir nok ikke slik.

More like 3.5. Not my favorite. I lost interest towards the end.
