Jo Nesbø's Harry Hole Series

[wanderingstar]

Has anyone else read the Harry Hole series by Norwegian writer Jo Nesbø? I'm reading my third book in this series (I've read them all out of order), and I really enjoy Nesbø's writing style. I also think he generally does a good job of crafting a mystery. I've not been disappointed by any of the payoffs in his books.

 

As for the main character, Harry Hole, I find him to be an enjoyable - if not entirely likable - protagonist. It's not his sloppy appearance or alcoholism that put me off; it's the whole every-one-is-stupid-at-detective-work-except-me stuff that sometimes grates. But I do like Harry's sense of humor.
