Welp I did it again! I'm giving up on another series. Chalk it up to the 1,000+ books on my TBR. I did give Mr. Nesbo a good ole college try, but he simply has too many red herrings often without any follow-up or explanation.
In this, the 7th in the series (yes, I skipped WAY ahead) I was anticipating the red herrings and actually figured out the suspect, but since the main clue was never explained I was again left frustrated with Mr. Nesbo.
The Snowman was very fast paced even with the abundant red herrings (I've said red herrings for about as many red herrings as Mr. Nesbo puts in his plots!), but it just wasn't enough for me to give Mr. Nesbo a fourth, fifth or sixth chance.
So, I'm now moving onto another series!!
From Goodreads: Oslo in November. The first snow of the season has fallen. A boy named Jonas wakes in the night to find his mother gone. Out his window, in the cold moonlight, he sees the snowman that inexplicably appeared in the yard earlier in the day. Around its neck is his mother's pink scarf. Hole suspects a link between a menacing letter he's received and the disappearance of Jonas's mother - and of perhaps a dozen other women, all of whom went missing on the day of a first snowfall. As his investigation deepens, something else emerges: he is becoming a pawn in an increasingly terrifying game whose rules are devised - and constantly revised - by the killer.
