You want to be puzzled, confused, and kept in suspense. But in my opinion, author Joe Nesbo overdid this in "The Redbreast", the third installment of his Harry Hole series. I still love Harry Hole, and as usual, I reveled in the broody atmosphere of the novel.But I found myself baffled as to what was really happening far too often. The plot was so complex, the way things were finally resolved and explained was Harry reading the journal of the man whodunit. Not a very satisfying resolution for my taste. Rauðbrystingur er þriðja sagan um Harry Hole, norska heltekna morðlöggu og vel virkan alkóhólista. Einhverra hluta vegna er þessi saga önnur sagan sem þýdd er yfir á íslensku og ég veit ei hvers vegna bók númer tvö var ekki þýdd en kannski vita aðrir mér fróðari ástæðuna. Í þessari sögu klúðrar Hole feitt þegar Bandaríkjaforseti mætir í Noregsheimsókn og er fluttur til í starfi og settur á bak við skrifborð. Þar rekst hann hins vegar á vísbendingar um að í undirbúningi séu eitt eða fleiri morð og allt bendir til verðandi morðingi sé hermaður frá síðari heimsstyrjöldinni. Ágætis spenna og plott.
An elegant and complex thriller by the Norwegian musician, economist and crime writer Jo Nesbo...The engineering of the interlocking plot pieces is intricate because it has to support Nesbo’s complicated ideas — and dire thoughts — about Norwegian nationalism, past and present. While giving his ambitious book the form of a police procedural, featuring Harry Hole, an attractive if familiarly flawed loose cannon of a cop, the author expands his street-level subplots into a narrative that reaches all the way back to World War II, when Norway was under German occupation.
