Description In Pursuance Of Books The Leopard (Harry Hole #8)
In the depths of winter, a killer stalks the city streets. His victims are two young women, both found with twenty-four inexplicable puncture wounds, both drowned in their own blood. The crime scenes offer no clues, the media is reaching fever pitch, and the police are running out of options. There is only one man who can help them, and he doesn't want to be found. Deeply traumatised by The Snowman investigation, which threatened the lives of those he holds most dear, Inspector Harry Hole has lost himself in the squalor of Hong Kong's opium dens. But with his father seriously ill in hospital, Harry reluctantly agrees to return to Oslo. He has no intention of working on the case, but his instinct takes over when a third victim is found brutally murdered in a city park. The victims appear completely unconnected to one another, but it's not long before Harry makes a discovery: the women all spent the night in an isolated mountain hostel. And someone is picking off the guests one by one. A heart-stopping thriller from the bestselling author of the The Snowman, The Leopard is an international phenomenon that will grip you until the final page.Define Books To The Leopard (Harry Hole #8)

Dear Harry Hole:Last time I heard from you, you lost the woman you loved, her son who called you Dad and your middle finger. You quit Crime Squad for good, sulking from the trauma and devastation in your life caused chasing down that twisted Snowman. You moved to Hong Kong where you graduated at the top of your class from Jim Beam to heroin. No more serial killer hunts for you. Just smack, glass noodles and gambling on losing horses. The good life for someone who has given up on life. Then thisThe Leopard by Jo Nesbø is a real Russian doll of a thriller. Intricately and meticulously plotted, its full of twists, tricks and suprises. The brain needs to work overtime as theories become redundant, constantly being replaced by new ones. This is a powerful tale of warring police departments, gory and imaginative killings, scary obsessions, strange motives, lots of snow and of course Harry Hole. At the beginning of this story our hero has to be dragged back from a squalid existence in Hong
One of my favorite crime busters, Harry Hole,in another well written Nordic Crime Novel. I love the writing, love the character, but I almost want to give this one 3 stars because the murders are so hideously conceived. Does Nesbo think the crimes have to get more and more horrible to sell more books? The Snowman's MO was bad but this one is worse. When I read Headhunters will it be even worse?

it starts slowly around middle I was enjoying some nice plot twist, but after that it went shockingly bad. things I did not enjoy:- made up torture devices are ok, but presenting them as a real historical artefact stinks- Norwegian police routinely travel to civil-war plagued African countries to investigate on a whim, without any official liason, contact, legal backup, guns, preparation or even a fucking medical check.Nesbo is trying too hard and puts too many locations (rwanda, hong kong,
I didnt enjoy this book as much as the ones before it in the series. Its been less than a month since I read it and I had to track down a synopsis to refresh my memory so I could write this piece of crap review. It was a template plot with generic characters added and it didnt have the charm the other books before it had. Also, the cheesy far-fetched parts of the story were a bit too much for me this time and I am kind of getting tired of the quirky girl love interest character that is brought
So the advertising does work. One finds it almost impossible to commute around London these days without seeing adverts for Jo Nesbos various thrillers. They give the impression that every sentient being on the planet is currently gripped by this mans books and slavering for the next one. More than eating or breathing oxygen, reading Norwegian crime novels is the done thing for the human race right now. As such, because I appear to be more of a sucker for this kind of thing than I previously
Dear Mr.Nesbo, I can't explain what a painful ordeal it was to finish this book. Please realize that the reader is an amateur detective who is trying to decipher the clues along with the fictional detective. And he/she is not going to be pleased when he figures out where it is heading at 40% while the detective doesn't have a clue. What is more frustrating is that his/her 'cracking' the case is primarily attributed to knowing the author. (Why doesn't Harry Hole learn?)The worst thing that can
