About this ebook

'Chilling, spectacular stuff' Mark Billingham

After the first snowfall of the year, a young boy wakes up and discovers that his mother has disappeared.

Only one trace of her remains: a pink scarf now worn by the snowman that appeared in their yard earlier that day.

Detective Harry Hole soon discovers that an alarming number of wives and mothers have gone missing over the years.

When a second woman disappears, Harry's worst suspicion is confirmed: a serial killer is operating on his home turf.

SOON THE FIRST SNOW WILL COME
AND THEN HE WILL APPEAR AGAIN
AND WHEN THE SNOW HAS GONE
HE WILL HAVE TAKEN SOMEONE ELSE. . .

Ratings and reviews

(No Spoilers) 4.5 Stars. A good crime novel with mystery. Not a puzzle-heavy clue-laden solve-it-if-you-can sort of mystery like Agatha Christie's, but it's still a whodunit with some action and interesting characters. The writing is also good. Warning: This is a book in a series. There are some spoilers - characters who have died in, and culprits of previous books are mentioned. This did not detract me from my experience of this book. This my first Nesbo book and won't be my last.

I have yet to finish the book but I'm gripped I just can't put it down a piece of literature like this is so rare now a days thanks Mr.nesbo for this amazing piece of work

Didn't enjoy this as much as other Nesbo books. Worth. Read if you like others but a little predictable at times .

About the author

Jo Nesbo is one of the world’s bestselling crime writers, with The Leopard, Phantom, Police, The Son and his latest Harry Hole novel, The Thirst, all topping the Sunday Times bestseller charts. He's an international number one bestseller and his books are published in 50 languages, selling over 40 million copies around the world.

Before becoming a crime writer, Nesbo played football for Norway’s premier league team Molde, but his dream of playing professionally for Spurs was dashed when he tore ligaments in his knee at the age of eighteen. After three years military service he attended business school and formed the band Di Derre ('Them There'). They topped the charts in Norway, but Nesbo continued working as a financial analyst, crunching numbers during the day and gigging at night. When commissioned by a publisher to write a memoir about life on the road with his band, he instead came up with the plot for his first Harry Hole crime novel, The Bat.
