Who was the killer in this book just spoiler it for me. I don't

I read it, and I forgot. In fact, I forget if I finished it, but I think I did.

The book is too longwinded, with too much side bs, too much tryhard spooky snowy atmosphere, too contrived in its invention of weird WEIRD murders.

Note that Nesbo's Harry Hole was inspired by Harry Bosch of the Michael Connelly books.

Now, the best Harry Bosch books are page-turners, they are as good as crime fiction gets. You wouldn't make a post asking who the killer was, you would have just read the book, because the book would've grabbed and held your interest.

And Connelly's Harry is terse and to the point - probably because Connelly had a long apprenticeship as a working newspaper reporter - where Nesbo's Harry is sprawling and whiny in his contrived "brilliance" and "tragedy." Nesbo has probably researched the subject, but I doubt he has any of the working knowledge of police procedure or crime scene investigation that Connelly does, because Nesbo's books lack that smack of reality that Connelly routinely brings, except in the scenes where he shows us his hero's unhappy domestic life, which scenes feel alive with the complexity and richness of real life because they doubtless are informed by the writer's actual experience.

That said, it might be a good movie because good movies are usually based on mediocre novels rather than good ones. Apologies for the sperg.
