[...] The new mission entrusted to me Hoffmann défrisait me greatly. He wanted me sends his wife.
[...] Everything pleased me with Corina Hoffmann. Everything except his surname.
[...] I felt like a guy who is sitting at a poker table with four heavily armed bad losers and naturally suspicious. And we had to distribute me a hand of four aces. Sometimes, the good news is if implausibly good they are bad.
Obviously, Olav will fall in love with the steep unfaithful wench.
And always, of course, nothing will proceed as planned.
We do not tell you more, it would also not much interest here: you already read this story at least a dozen times, it's the same principle of this 'how to ...' .
You can store for example, this book right next to another favorite: We must kill Lewis Winter, Malcolm MacKay.
But in good écivain Jo Nesbø has the great idea to spice up what could be only a tribute to the former, a skilful exercise in style, a few unexpected flavors.
And primarily the personality of Olav, the hitman: dyslexic, no arithmetic, a guy who avoids thinking.
[...] I was thinking. Usually I try to abstain, it is not an activity in which I see a potential for improvement through practice and experience, it rarely leads to anything good .
But a guy who reads Victor Hugo (not easy when one has dyslexia), writing poems (even more difficult, we must patiently put all the letters in the right order), which cites philosophers: Darwin, Hume, ...
And then, after an apocalyptic killing, there is last part of the book: it is this which explains the favorite, and in every sense of the word.
Because the author is a little dude who walked us through the nose: ruthless killers history, humor in the second degree, pastiche of hard-boiled thriller, ... yeah, yeah, of course we had seen it all ...
But Jo Nesbø is customary false long tracks and all this carefully hid another story, almost another book and a beautiful story of love .... And yes.
Come on, Jo Nesbø want to know still surprise us.
A book for everyone: for fans of Jo Nesbø who will not be disappointed (even in the absence of Harry Hole), for fans of thrillers that will not be disappointed or simply for those who want an easy book, pleasant , fun and surprising (and refreshing) to the beaches this summer, and that will not be disappointed either.
