Jo Nesbo

Vintage

——————————————————————————

“The police urgently need Harry Hole.

A killer is stalking Oslo’s streets. Police officers are being slain at the scenes of crimes they once investigated but failed to solve. The murders are brutal, the media reaction hysterical.

But this time, Harry can’t help anyone.

For years, Harry’s dedication to his job and brilliant insights have saved the lives of countless people. But now, with those he loves most facing terrible danger, Harry can’t protect anyone.

Least of all himself."

——————————————————————————–

There are twelve books, so far, in the Harry Hole series. This is the tenth in the series, and the tenth I’ve read. Finally, Harry Hole stopped drinking. Once, don’t remember while reading which one, I was thinking if I wanted to continue reading the Harry Hole series, because I was so fed up with his drinking problems. Now after I finished Police, I am wondering again if I want to continue reading the eleventh, the twelfth, etc. Ok, he stopped drinking. That was great. But Nesbo seems to want to have the police who worked with Hole and Hole cared about a lot got killed. If so, I’m not so sure I want to read the rest. I skipped the part when one, my favorite one character, of the Boiler Room team was murdered.

There are three parts, at least, I don’t like about this book.

First is of course when I had to read about the dirty political games Mikael Bellman was playing. I hate the ways he set up others just to get to the top. Nasty! I hate it when his wife chose to forgive him, just because he had what she wanted. Disgusting!! I hate it when he in the end only lost one eye! And he seized the chance to make himself a hero! Loathsome!!

The second is when Beate Lonn was murdered brutally. Why she? I don’t know!! Who might be the next in Nesbo’s next book?! I don’t want to know!!

And the last is when I finished the book and realized that there were unsolved cases and a potential demon at large who probably was stalking Stale Aune’s daughter. I so hate a book ends without an ending!!

Is Stale Aune, one of the Boiler Room team, going to lose his daughter? Can’t take that much!!
