The Snowman by Jo Nesbø

3.0

This book was promoted as being the "new" Girl With a Dragon Tattoo" . Not sure that it meets the hype, but it was pretty good as crime novels go. None of the characters were as memorable as the GWDT characters, but the plot wasn't nearly as convoluted either. There were several plot twists and though I did guess the killer, I was not sure until the end. There were a few plot details that seemed to get dropped--one character kept showing up (unrelated to all other characters in the book) but after she was killed, nothing more was said about her. Like when the killer recapped the murders--no mention. But it was entertaining, exciting and not too gory. A good light read.
