This is the first time reading a crime novel like this. I imagined a crime novel to read like this, and it does.

When I watched the 2017 film The Snowman, I didn't know it was based on a book. As soon as I found out it was (and that it was #7) I knew I had to start the series. 

Now, would I read more of the Harry Hole series? Yes, but I'm not itching to read it. When I do another book order, I will make sure to grab the next one.
