Striking in its simplicity… Nesbo is a writer at the top of his game who continues to amaze in new and confounding ways

Daily Express

The undisputed king of Scandinavian crime fiction.<b>..</b>I am so used to the energetic plot twists, fiendish violence and addictive verbosity of Nesbo’s writing that Blood on Snow, with its simplicity, brevity and unlikely poetry, comes as a welcome antidote. It is set in the 1970s, an era of increasing fascination to Nesbo, and has a first-person narrative that provides a window into its protagonist’s lonely, tortured soul
