The Devil's Star (Harry Hole, #5)

Jo Nesbø

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

A young woman is murdered in her Oslo flat. One finger has been severed from her left hand, and behind her eyelid is secreted a tiny red diamond in the shape of a five-pointed star - a pentagram, the devil's star. Detective Harry Hole is assigned to the case with his long-time adversary Tom Waaler and initially wants no part in it. But Harry is already on notice to quit the force and is left with little alternative but to drag himself out of his alcoholic stupor and get to work. A wave of similar murders is on the horizon. An emerging pattern suggests that Oslo has a serial killer on its hands, and the five-pointed devil's star is key to solving the riddle.

    я ж знаю, що, поки в серії ще є багато книжок попереду, нічого з головним героєм не станеться. тому в головного героя є люди, з якими запросто може статися, – і від того аж дух перехоплює.
    або мені здається, або вони поступово стають ліпші. оця, наприклад, потягла б навіть на 3,5. втім, може бути, що то все відчуття полегшення: тим, хто давно вже був поганий, нарешті добряче накостиляли.
