Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m enamored with this series. I feel it‘s higher-level writing than most novels in the crime genre.

The book follows two cases. A bank robbery where a murder occurs, and the death of Harry‘s former lover Anna. Anna‘s death is ruled a suicide but Harry is sure it was murder.

I enjoyed watching Harry try to solve the two cases. The book was great until the last couple chapters. Then it was just a massive info dump as Harry explained what happened. I think fans of the series will enjoy this but it may be a bit hard to follow otherwise.

Here I will note 365 books (or as many as I will have before I get tired) that have shaped my taste in literature. No explanations, no reviews. Just the cover of the book.
I do not challenge anyone. You are all welcome to take part.

Mini book haul. I went to Barnes and Noble at lunch to use my gift card. Decided there‘s no point in saving it.

Another awesome Harry Hole thriller mystery 8/10

#BookReport Mar 1 - 7
Too many in progress, so only completed books. I read Miralles' charming story also titled as tagged ⬇️

Nesbo 🤔 glad tis introduced Harry Hole to me. With many clever tricks up JN's sleeve, he spins a lengthy yarn. Deftly builds suspense but to bark up wrong tree repeatedly was meh!
Lines above (or stringing a yo-yo) signify multiple culprits for same crime, all with valid evidence. Ugh! Fewer chapters = better impact

Think I will continue with the #currentRead
my introduction to Harry Hole, when the Dame's book comes up soon in the line of #ReadingMM
I will start reading book 10 in a few days ;)
Same title, different books for the #whimsyreader #moodreader 😁😉☺️

Genre: Crime Fiction
Author:Jo Nesbø
Start date: Sept 9, 2019
Finished:
How Did I choose this book?: I choose this book because Alyk, my brother, was reading this book and when looking for a book I came across this Nemesis Jo Nesbo.
This book caught my attention because it's about a man trying to clear his name for a murder for the cashier at a bank.

Overall a fast paced read, but it felt like Nesbo crammed too many story lines into one book.

Good story but sooo many twists and turns. I would have been perfectly content if the story ended halfway through.

I love this author. It's been a while since I read one of these. 💖📚

Current read.

Went to London for a family trip and managed to buy only two books. Found the Black Gull which I remembered from a trip ten years ago and bought the tagged book there.

Not as strong as The Redbreast, I didn‘t particularly like the incredibly convoluted storyline. But I am now firmly attached to the Harry Hole character, and will definitely continue with this series! #pop18 #heist

It‘s a good thing that hubby is on call tonight and working at the hospital, because someone is taking up my whole side of the bed. 🙀 #catsoflitsy #Isabel

Hoping to finish the tagged book before sleep hits, but some unfortunate antibiotic side effects keep hitting. 🥴

It‘s been a long few weeks! I was hoping to hop into bed earlier, but at least I‘m here by 9pm and I‘m not budging. I have asthma, and I am prone to secondary infections whenever I get something respiratory. I had been good for 3 years, but this month I ended up with bronchitis after a cold I picked up 3 weeks ago. It‘s been with me through Boston, the last weeks of campaign work, and starting my new class, but finally on the mend! G‘night! 🛌 😴

With a lot of appointments on the agenda, I‘m catching some reading time when I can this week!

I‘m beginning to think that I just can‘t get to grips with Jo Nesbo‘s writing. Lots of people rave about this series but, for the most part, it‘s deadly dull. Rating: 2 ⭐️

#LitsyClassics #MayLovesClassics #day11 #Crime Crime is my genre, it‘s the one I love to read the most & it takes up most room on my shelves. It‘s such a varied genre, different nationalities bring something different to the telling, plus there‘s sub genres like cozy crime, golden age crime, police procedural, paranormal crime & scifi crime. Some readers look down their noses at crime but I love it.❤️🔪🖤

This is the 4th book in the Harry Hole series. It was not my favorite so far, mainly because the plot didn‘t do much for me. I continue to really like Hole‘s character though, so I‘m looking forward to the remaining books. The synopsis of the next book sounds more up my alley! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Irina: “This is a detective novel and a murder mystery that‘s part of a series. The story is very interesting—the characters seem very real. The detective is not a perfect hero. He has his demons and is an alcoholic. You really feel for him when he has a bad day or messes up. I like reading stories that are very different from my life. I‘m an actress-slash-waitress and I have never solved a mystery. I‘d love to have the opportunity though!”

I don‘t know about you, but there's nothing more emersive to me than reading a police thriller in a quiet place.

Book 4 in the Harry Hole series!

Omg, talk about convoluted. My brain hurts from reading this book and uncrossing all the jumbled wires. A bank robbery and a fling from Harry's past set the stage for this crazy book. Does anybody else feel like Jo is a bit of a chauvinist? I'm not gonna go so far as to say he hates women but I feel like women are just props to him. I live my reading life in in constant fear for the lives of Beate and Rakel. Lol, still pressing on.

What can make you leave the house during a readathon?
Not worrying about what you'll eat tomorrow - you'll sort that out.
Not perfect summer weather - there's more where that came from.
Only one thing...

I enjoyed The Redbreast, and I'm struggling to understand why this one didn't quite do it for me. It read like a fairly ordinary police procedural, without any of the historical sweep of the previous book. I found the writing cliched and the plot contrived and implausible and at the same time over-complicated so that I had a real job to remember who everyone was. Not bad but not great.

Just a shoutout to the awesome Litsy support team who responded to my query about when the Fire app was coming out within a few minutes. And now I have Litsy on my Fire. Yay!

Thrilling Harry Hole novel with many twists and turns. Harry has to investigation a violent bank robbery at the same time trying to clear his name from his ex girlfriends murder. Revenge is the major theme, from the name of art work to people's motives. Harry makes a lot of mistakes due to his lust for revenge which makes things worst. 8/10

Harry's experience with suicide notes. I like the dark humor nature of this quote.

Another great Jo Nesbø novel! I love Harry Hole ? The story this one told was engaging, creative, & intense. A perfect police procedural. Can't wait for the next one.

Starting another Jo Nesbø book today ? love me some Harry Hole ??

Not as good as Redbreast but solid.

Sucked me in again.

Didn't finish the two books I'm ready now before the end 2016 but did surpass my original goal of 24 books. Here's to 2017 and more books and hopefully a lil peace for all of us. Happy New Year 🎉

😁

Nesbo elevates police procedurals.

Currently reading this during my subway time. Enjoying it so far.
