A uniformed member of the Salvation Army is shot dead assassinated during a concert on the streets of Oslo. Who did it? And why?

Congratulations to Mr. Jo Nesbo, for crafting a murder mystery that kept me guessing up to the point when he chose to reveal details to the reader. And an attaboy is due for developing a set of characters who caught and kept my interest throughout the novel. Nesbo illustrated how each possessed abilities, honed through experience, to either detect truth or evade capture. However, not forgetting that Achilles could be harmed through his heel and Superman via Kryptonite, Nesbo reveals that his good guys had their flaws and the bad guys possessed some positive traits although, in one case, those were a front for even worse behaviors.

Normally, I try to read (or in this case, listen to audio book) of a series in sequential order. In this case, I was introduced to Harry Hole in the middle of the ongoing series. It may be my first visit, but it will definitely NOT be my last Ive already picked up 4 more books in this series.

RATING: I enjoyed this book, found few if any flaws, and it stuck with me thats how I define 5 stars.
