About this ebook

**DETECTIVE HOLE IS NOW A MAJOR NETFLIX SERIES**

When the snow falls, the killing begins.

After the first snowfall, a mother vanishes, leaving behind only a pink scarf wrapped around a snowman’s neck. Detective Harry Hole recognises the signature - a serial killer who hunts when the world turns white.

As the body count rises, Hole’s obsession deepens. His pursuit of the ‘Snowman’ draws him into a web of betrayal, fear and unimaginable cruelty.

Atmospheric, ingenious and bone-chilling, The Snowman is Nesbo at his most ruthless.

**Jo Nesbo has sold over 60 million books worldwide**

(No Spoilers) 4.5 Stars. A good crime novel with mystery. Not a puzzle-heavy clue-laden solve-it-if-you-can sort of mystery like Agatha Christie's, but it's still a whodunit with some action and interesting characters. The writing is also good. Warning: This is a book in a series. There are some spoilers - characters who have died in, and culprits of previous books are mentioned. This did not detract me from my experience of this book. This my first Nesbo book and won't be my last.

Didn't enjoy this as much as other Nesbo books. Worth. Read if you like others but a little predictable at times .

About the author

Jo Nesbo is one of the world’s bestselling crime writers, with The Leopard, Phantom, Police, The Son and his latest Harry Hole novel, The Thirst, all topping the Sunday Times bestseller charts. He's an international number one bestseller and his books are published in 50 languages, selling over 40 million copies around the world.

Before becoming a crime writer, Nesbo played football for Norway’s premier league team Molde, but his dream of playing professionally for Spurs was dashed when he tore ligaments in his knee at the age of eighteen. After three years military service he attended business school and formed the band Di Derre ('Them There'). They topped the charts in Norway, but Nesbo continued working as a financial analyst, crunching numbers during the day and gigging at night. When commissioned by a publisher to write a memoir about life on the road with his band, he instead came up with the plot for his first Harry Hole crime novel, The Bat.
