Relation To Books The Leopard (Harry Hole #8)
In the depths of winter, a killer stalks the city streets. His victims are two young women, both found with twenty-four inexplicable puncture wounds, both drowned in their own blood. The crime scenes offer no clues, the media is reaching fever pitch, and the police are running out of options. There is only one man who can help them, and he doesn't want to be found. Deeply traumatised by The Snowman investigation, which threatened the lives of those he holds most dear, Inspector Harry Hole has lost himself in the squalor of Hong Kong's opium dens. But with his father seriously ill in hospital, Harry reluctantly agrees to return to Oslo. He has no intention of working on the case, but his instinct takes over when a third victim is found brutally murdered in a city park. The victims appear completely unconnected to one another, but it's not long before Harry makes a discovery: the women all spent the night in an isolated mountain hostel. And someone is picking off the guests one by one. A heart-stopping thriller from the bestselling author of the The Snowman, The Leopard is an international phenomenon that will grip you until the final page.Rating Out Of Books The Leopard (Harry Hole #8)

I like how Nesbo writes but I sure get angry with him because of the great big heavy burden he keeps pushing onto Harry grrrr. For God's sake give him a bloody break, why don't you. As you can see the above is a testament to how much I get into these stories and how reading one always makes me want to read more, always with that little hope that it will be easier for Harry this time round.A slightly skewed BR with my Harry Girls - Lena and Alona.I'm not a fan of crime fiction, unless it was written by Raymond Chandler, but that's not crime fiction - that's noir literature. However, I was enticed by and enjoyed the Stieg Larsson books last summer, despite how poorly they were edited and awful the English translations were. The narratives were compelling, and I couldn't put them down.I decided to pick up the latest book by Jo Nesbo - billed as the "Norwegian Stieg Larsson" - because I was curious about this new trend of explicitly
After The Snowman, Harry Hole has earned the reputation as the serial killer slayer. That's why a colleague goes looking for Harry in Bangkok to enlist him in a new investigation. But Harry has to battle the new Kripos chief to find his new nemesis.

One of my favorite crime busters, Harry Hole,in another well written Nordic Crime Novel. I love the writing, love the character, but I almost want to give this one 3 stars because the murders are so hideously conceived. Does Nesbo think the crimes have to get more and more horrible to sell more books? The Snowman's MO was bad but this one is worse. When I read Headhunters will it be even worse?
I am a biased fan, so my passion for this series among the steam of Nordic Noir hits has to be considered in that context. The figure of tough and sensitive Harry Hole, usually detective with the Olso major crimes squad, is up there in my pantheon of fictional crime fighters, which includes near the heavens Harry Bosch, Dave Robicheaux, Elvis Cole, Virgil Flowers, Jack Reacher, Walt Longmire, and Spenser. At curtain rise, Harry is basically living under a rock in Hong Kong. The threats and
it starts slowly around middle I was enjoying some nice plot twist, but after that it went shockingly bad. things I did not enjoy:- made up torture devices are ok, but presenting them as a real historical artefact stinks- Norwegian police routinely travel to civil-war plagued African countries to investigate on a whim, without any official liason, contact, legal backup, guns, preparation or even a fucking medical check.Nesbo is trying too hard and puts too many locations (rwanda, hong kong,
Audible If you read and LIKED The Snowman, then you CAN read The Leopard even WITHOUT reading the previous books. Yes, in spite of my own statement in my reviews to the previous sequels (about a necessity of reading the series from the very beginning). Actually you even NEED to read it ASAP.Probably my favourite instalment. Brutal, be prepared, but absolutely unputdownable.I listened to an audio book in German. At first I was not sure about it, but Jo Nesbo doesn't write his books in Enlish,
