“An elegant and complex thriller….Harrowingly beautiful.”—New York Times Book Review“A hugely impressive achievement—ambitious in scope, and skilled in execution.”—Los Angeles Times“The Redbreast certainly ranks with the best of current American crime fiction.”—Washington PostNo disrespect meant to Henning Mankell and Stieg Larsson, but Jo Nesbø, the New York Times bestselling author of The … Mankell and Stieg Larsson, but Jo Nesbø, the New York Times bestselling author of The Snowman, is the most exciting Scandinavian thriller writer in the crime fiction business. The Redbreast is a fabulous installment in Nesbø’s tough-as-nails series protagonist, Oslo police detective Harry Hole. A brilliant and epic novel, breathtaking in its scope and design—winner of The Glass Key for best Nordic crime novel and selected as the best Norwegian crime novel ever written by members of Norway’s book clubs—The Redbreast is a chilling tale of murder and betrayal that ranges from the battlefields of World War Two to the streets of modern-day Oslo. Follow Hole as he races to stop a killer and disarm a ticking time-bomb from his nation’s shadowy past. Vogue magazine says that “nobody can delve into the dark, twisted mind of a murderer better than a Scandinavian thriller writer”…and nobody does it better than Jo Nesbø! James Patterson fans should also take note.

I love all his Harry Hole books.
It was slow getting started as there were so many people and you weren’t sure if or how they were connected.
One of my favorite novelists. This one is challenging to follow as time periods and characters switch back and forth throughout. Worth the effort.
This is the third Jo Nesbo’s books, you cannot put it down! Harry Hole will totally amaze you. I do recommend that you read Nesbo’s two previous books, The Bat and Cockroaches and the following 9 books!
Another great book by a master writer. Both the characters and plot keep the reader guessing until the end.
I’m a big fan of Jo Nesbo and will snatch up, open up and absorb the “Hole” thing!
Jo Nesbo is amazing! Every bit as good as the Steig Larson books. This series is a great & scary read
All Jo Nesbo book are fabulous
Love anything Nesbit writes
Jo Nesbo should be a favorite author for crime novelists
amazing read from great writer
Okay airplane read.
Nesbo does it again! You can never guess his villain but I dare you to try.
exciting enough that i’ve bought another by Nesbo
Started off great but slowed to a stop part way through.
It drags a little in the middle. Otherwise, I always enjoy any of his books
Love the character and everything Nesbo writes.
Nesbo is a very good writer.
I have read all of Jo Nesbo’s books. They have great plots and move along very quickly.
I can’t actually remember the plot in this book, just that the main character is Harry Hole and I love every book in the series. And I’m glad that I don’t remember so that I can be surprised when I read it again!
