Suspenseful as always, and Nesbø remains the master of when and how to give you what information. Twelve books and I still haven't guessed the killer once. Sadly the emotional bits of this is a little lackluster as a result of leaving too much of the build-up in the past (trying to be vague here because of spoilers). It works, but it's not ideal. Still, I tore through the book in a weekend, and always enjoyed it. Not one of Nesbø's all-time masterpieces, but a solid, suspenseful and somewhat emotional crime novel.
