Does it really take that length of time to wrap things up? I quickly learned that there was a lot of adventure, suspense and twists still in store for me. I even thought the book was over and did not understand why my ipod indicated that there was 3 hours left. This story has a lot of subtle twists I did not see coming. Occasionally I've decided that Michael is the best on the planet after an inspired story - but then I go through an intense journey with Jo and have to admit that the Norwegian has all the tools to claim that mantle. Michael Connelly, Jo Nesbo - the two best writers of detective fiction over the last decade in this humble reviewers opinion. The Gauntlet Has Been Thrown Down, Michael
Ruthlessly intelligent and suspenseful, The Leopard is Jo Nesbo's most electrifying novel yet - absolutely gripping from first to last. And Harry will soon come to understand that he is dealing with a psychopath for whom insanity is a vital retreat, someone who will put him to the test in both his professional and personal lives as never before. There is little to go on: a piece of rope, a scrap of wool, a bit of gravel, an unexpected connection between the victims. After a female MP is discovered brutally murdered, nothing can keep him from the investigation. Yet when he is compelled, at last, to return to Norway - his father is dying - Harry's buried instincts begin to take over.
Traumatized by his last case, Inspector Harry Hole has lost himself in the squalor of Hong Kong's opium dens. The crime scenes offer no coherent clues, the police investigation is stalled, and the one man who might be able to help doesn't want to be found. Media coverage quickly reaches fever pitch: Could this be the work of a serial killer? Two young women are found murdered in Oslo, both drowned in their own blood.
