My reservation, as it always is with creepy murder books, is that I have mixed feelings about reading such awful things for fun -- and I have questions about the type of person who WRITES such awful things. Hence my three star rating instead of four. The story has twist upon twist upon twist and while I saw some coming but a few totally blindsided me. Harry Hole in an interesting character and I'm kind of interested in reading more in the series to get a fuller picture of him but I'm not so sure I'm interested in the dark subject matter. Bottom line: worth reading if crime/murder is your genre. If it's not, the story is a little grim but not as grim/twisted as the Dragon Tattoo stuff. I just finished this book and am seriously hooked!I had heard about the author from a friend and am so glad I was directed to The Snowman.The only thing I regret is that I couldn't have started from the first Harry Hole book which has yet to be translated.(Now I am committed to going back to the first books available in English.)It is always a good thing to discover an author you enjoy who has several books published and you know exactly what to expect. I know I enjoy the author but I have to say you really cannot predict anything.The twists and turns leave you reeling with anticipation as you turn the pages-or click your kindle! Loved it! I enjoyed it much more than I expected. I think people shouldn't be scared of "Noir" here because I felt that it was a very well-written police detective. I didn't find it particularly dark. There was this weird detachment as almost in a cozy murder mystery. It was my first Harry Hole book and it read well as a stand-alone. The character development is great, the Norwegian setting was homey for me as a Latvian who has lived in Sweden for a while. We had a very warm November this year in Georgia (except for the last few days when it suddenly got cold), so it was nice to live through that dark month at least in a book. Objectively, I don't really have anything bad to say about this book, but subjectively it was not an "I love" book, rather an "I really liked" book, hence 4 stars.
Harry is pleasingly human, with a capacity for hard, grueling work being one of his best features, and the rest of the characters say and do believable things, the murderous snowman notwithstanding. The Norwegian settings are sometimes exotic, sometimes just grimy—who knew that Oslo had a high-crime area?—but always appropriate to the story, which unfolds at just the right pace.

"In Oslo, after the first snow of the season has fallen, a woman disappears, and a sinister snowman is left in her wake. As irascible detective Harry Hole realizes that this is only one of multiple disappearances, he begins to think a serial killer may be at work--and may be drawing in Hole personally and intentionally"-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
