This has been my least favorite in the series to date. I have also read the snowman (which is I think the very first book I read).

I feel like it was just forwarding the bigger story and I knew about a few of the outcomes which stole away from the suspense mystery feeling that Nesbo crafts so well.

I did really find it humorous that Nesbo pokes fun at his own format of tragic female lead, mystery, murder, plus plus... breaks the fourth wall a little and slides that *wink* moment to the reader
