The Bat - Jo Nesbo
Series
I chose this book because I heard a lot about the book "The Snowman" by Jo Nesbo and since it was part of a series, I had to start with the first book of the series. Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed but I am intrigued with Harry Hole and will continue with the series.
Anyway, we first meet Harry Hole, a detective from Norway, in Australia. He was sent there to help solve the murders of several young blond girls. It is a good mystery "who-done-it" with maybe too much Australian folk-lore used as fill-in. And maybe because I don't know much about Australia, I was lost quite a few times. There was also a lot of back information on Harry, sort of like we needed to get to know Harry real quick. But like I said, I am intrigued by Harry and will read the next in this series called, "The Cockroaches".
