L O N G! Except for the length I would have rated this book four stars. Yes, police investigations sometimes take a long time but this one found me ploughing through the read just to get to the end. The beginning and the end held my interest completely. But after about 300 pages my interest began to flag. This is a good read but understand that it is a long one.
The author is a good writer and takes the reader on many side trips to finally capture the killer. There are several suspects including a dermatologist, a journalist and a policewoman who is involved in the murder investigation. The murders take place on the first snow day of each year and at the end we find why this is so as the author lets us into the mind of the murderer. I like Harry Hole who is a determined and guttsy investigator. There are other interesting individuals in this novel. I liked Katrine Barr, Harry's fellow policemen investigators, Harry's girlfriend and her son, Oleg. All in all this is a good, if lengthy, read.
