A serial killer with a delicate job

Blood on Snow is after comprehensive yet ten volumes series about Harry Hole, the third stand-alone thriller by Jo Nesbo. Beginning in Headhunter an art thief and the son of an erupting from prison revenge killers, the main character, then Blood on Snow turns again to the fate of a criminal. This time it's the hitman Olav Johansen. As with headhunters and Blood on Snow is written from the first person perspective of the criminal.

The action takes place in 1977 in Oslo. Olav's assassins in the service of one of the Oslo drug lords. His latest job is particularly delicate: He shall kill the woman his boss. As Olav observed his new victims in preparation of murder, he begins to fall in love with the woman. This brings him into the greatest difficulties.

Jo Nesno manages once again that it sympathizes with the criminal kingpin, even if it is a seasoned hitman. But Olav Johansen is a very interesting character. He is a voracious reader despite his dyslexia. In addition, you can learn everything other than slight childhood throughout the book of Olav.

Jo Nesbo has come up with some very clever twists back in the time with around 200 pages quite short geratenen crime. The showdown played then among some grotesque conditions (on the nothing to be betrayed) just in a church. Although I have long been on a new case with Harry Hole am really liked me Blood on Snow.
