Two women are found murdered in Oslo — both of them have drowned in their own blood. What mystifies the police is that the puncture wounds in the victims' faces have been caused from the inside of their mouths. Kaja Solness from Homicide is sent to Hong Kong to track down a man who is the Oslo Police Department's only specialist on serial killings. The severely addicted detective has tried to disappear in the vast, anonymous city. He is on the run and haunted by his last case, the woman he loves, and creditors alike. His name is Harry Hole.I sometimes stare at my shelf and look at all the books I haven't read that I keep putting off for another day. Time goes by and there is often no particular reason other than maybe I wasn't in the mood or the cover isn't something that caught my eye. Whatever it is my selection this week is of a favourite mystery/thriller/crime writer. Jo Nesbo.
Why did I add The Leopard to my bookshelf?
I've read some of his Harry Hole novels, and he is the reason I keep coming back to that genre.What are your thoughts? Have you read this book? Would you recommend it to others?
I don't think that I have this book but I have quite a few books by Jo Nesbo on my Kindle and have read exactly none of them. Good to hear that he is a favorite for you. Thanks for joining in this week!
ReplyDeleteHi Carole, Thanks. I read the Snowman and The Bat and from then on I started getting into crime thrillers. Harry Hole is excellent!
DeleteNesbo is on my TBR but somehow I haven't read anything by him. I am glad to see you enjoy him and this one looks good!
ReplyDeleteHi Katherine, if you like crime thriller genres you definitely need to try a Nesbo novel.
DeleteI've heard so many good things about this series. Hope you get to catch up soon.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read anything by this author, this one sounds very interesting. I do enjoy mystery/thriller, I will have to look into the other books with Harry Hole.
