Official Summary
Inspector Harry Hole has retreated to Hong Kong, escaping the trauma of his last case in squalid opium dens, when two young women are found dead in Oslo, both drowned in their own blood. Media coverage quickly reaches a fever pitch. There are no clues, the police investigation is stalled, and Harry—the one man who might be able to help—can’t be found. After he returns to Oslo, the killer strikes again, Harry’s instincts take over, and nothing can keep him from the investigation, though there is little to go on. Worse, he will soon come to understand that he is dealing with a psychopath who will put him to the test, both professionally and personally, as never before.
My Two Cents
One thing I love love love is a good crime thriller and boy did this one deliver! I loved this book! In fact I liked it more than the first one I read by this author, The Snowman. Some of the translation was kind of weird and a little bit awkward, and the ending sort of dragged on and on a bit - but really this book was exciting, strange, unique and suspenseful. Always a good read when I don't guess who the killer is until the very end. And I almost always guess who the killer is, most times before the book is half over. Definitely pick this one up if you like this genre or if you also liked Dragon Tattoo.
