Like Stieg Larsson? Try Jo Nesbo

I really enjoyed the Stieg Larsson books - gripping stuff, couldn't put them down etc. The films are pretty good too. But there aren't going to be anymore. I read a review in The Sunday Times "Culture" section about another Scandanavian writer who was very like Larsson. His name: Jo Nesbo.

Fantastic! His series about detective Harry Hole (an alcoholic sociopath) is great. Although the first third of the first book is a little chewy, once you're through that it's terrific from then on in! It is worth reading them in order I hasten to add:

The Redbreast
Nemesis
The Devil Star
The Redeemer
The Snowman
The Leopard



Dark and a real page turner - I'd recommend them to anyone!

And they are dead cheap on Amazon too...
