bibliomaniac33's review against another edition
5.0
Four stars on the first read, five stars on the second. This is just an extremely well done procedural.

Pulse-pounding, grisly, and twisty, but also overwrought. This has been hyper-lauded, and I can understand some of the appeal. However, I can't help but think the story would have been better served by a measure of restraint.
audiobook note: capably narrated by Robin Sachs, with just the right balance of desperation and menace

Nesbø could have picked any name for his self-insert detective and he went with Harry Hole :)
