"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."
If you love thrillers then you will love this book. Every time I thought I knew how it would end, the author threw another curve snowball. I had never read anything by Jo Nesbo and was happy to learn that The Snowman is the 7th of his Harry Hole detective series. If you are squeamish about sex and murder scenes then this book isn't for you. Jo Nesbo has an excellent way of describing the pleasures humans seek at both ends of the spectrum. I'm giving this 4.5 out of 5 snowmen.
