The Son: A novel by Jo NesbøMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
My wife has a fascination with Scandinavian mysteries that is completely beyond my comprehension. I mostly find them too bleak to tolerate, but so far I've enjoyed Jo Nesbø's "Harry Hole" series, and I read them as fast as they get translated into English (which is for some odd reason not in the order they were published in Norway...).
This isn't a Hole novel. And that's a good thing, because it's much better. In my opinion, this is Nesbø's masterpiece. A tightly written police procedural, where you get all the clues you need to solve the crime, but probably won't see the light until nearly the end of the story. I loved every moment of this one.
