Picking up where we left off from "Police", this book returns to a previous killer in the series. It's perfection all the way. The relationships of the characters continue on. Lots of time spent on Harry's life. It enhances the case when we see the detectives as real people. This is a pretty gruesome killer. I had two people I couldn't decide between for the killer and was shocked when it was someone else altogether. A good story. A good crime. The tension wasn't quite as high as in others of the series bringing it down just short of 5 stars. ( )

Too many plot holes and about 100 pages too long for this to be enjoyable. ( )

Jo Nesbo has quite the twists and turns. This book makes you think one thing is happening when it is really something else. You could read this book on its own, but you'd be better served reading them in order. ( )

Once again, figuring out the killer was easy. I think I just zipped through this one so as to start reading The Knife. And the whole thing with the doctor and Wyller... aah, just too much. You can see the red herrings for what they are. ( )

Harry Hole, now retired, returns to duty to search for the "one that got away". ( )

Det starter rolig, nærmest i valsetakt. Men etter hvert skrus tempoet betraktelig opp, og den nye Harry Hole-boken blir en heseblesende leseropplevelse av beste Jo Nesbø-merke.

Lei lo aveva preso in giro dicendo che solo gli uomini anziani insistono a portare la lana sia d'estate che d'inverno. Lui le aveva risposto che la migliore strategia di sopravvivenza era imitare “sempre” gli uomini anziani, che nonostante tutto erano i vincitori, i sopravvissuti.
