The Snowman by Jo Nesbo

In The Snowman, Jo Nesbo creates an exciting mystery/thriller in which Oslo Police Inspector Harry Hole seeks to stop a serial killer whose trade mark is a snowman left at the scene of each murder. Surprises fill the novel, and the suspense builds as the villain targets Rakel, Harry’s on-again, off-again lover. I highly recommend the book, although the complex Norwegian names make it a little difficult.
