A young boy wakes to find his mother missing. Their house is empty but outside in the garden he sees his mother's favourite scarf – wrapped around the neck of a snowman.

And then he will appear again

As Harry Hole and his team begin their investigation they discover that an alarming number of wives and mothers have gone missing over the years.

When a second woman disappears it seems that Harry's worst suspicions are confirmed: for the first time in his career Harry finds himself confronted with a serial killer operating on his home turf.

...he will have taken someone else

Critic Reviews

This is chilling, spectacular stuff and anyone looking for serious, and seriously compelling, crime writing need look no further (Mark Billingham)
One of the stars of contemporary crime fiction (Martin Josephs)
Every now and then, a truly exceptional crime novel come along... This superb novel...deserves comparison with the first volume of Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy (Joan Smith)
Jo Nesbo is my new favourite thriller writer and Harry Hole my new hero (Michael Connelly)
Everything zips along, with some excellent red herrings in a tight plot... Nesbo keeps you turning the pages and if your idea of the perfect crime novel is to see Inspector Rebus investigating killings from The Silence of the Lambs, you'll love this
Nesbo, in his fifth, most wide-ranging novel, gradually tightens the narrative grip until, throughout the last 100 pages, the reader also finds it hard to breathe (Mark Sanderson)

Many authors know how to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Jo Nesbo's one of the few who keeps them there

(Linwood Barclay)
Inventive and extremely creepy
A strong, pacey narrative with plenty of gruesome discoveries (Laura Wilson)

The Snowman is a superb thriller. Jo Nesbo is astonishingly good; he knows how to grab you, by the throat and by the heart
All stars
Most relevant
The story is predictable and that put me off. There are far too many description and useless chatter, which could’ve been edited by the author. My feedback is for the story only. The reading was good.

Good. Not great.

it is slow, meanders, heaps onto you a slew of characters you couldn't care less about and the twist is quite underwhelming, if you have read stieg Larsson. maybe audio isn't the right format for such a detailed book.

quite slow
