Sinossi
Le guerre non finiscono mai. E per Harry Hole la guerra è appena cominciata. Durante la seconda guerra mondiale un gruppo di giovani soldati norvegesi combatte a fianco dell'esercito tedesco alle porte di Leningrado. Sono gli "uomini del fronte". La battaglia li unisce, ma alla fine della guerra uno strano omicidio e una diserzione sfaldano il gruppo. Quando, molti anni dopo, i monti intorno a Oslo restituiscono i bossoli di un Märklin, un fucile tedesco che, grazie alla sua straordinaria precisione, è lo strumento ideale per un killer professionista, Harry Hole intuisce che dietro quel ritrovamento si nasconde qualcosa di più grosso. E sulle tracce di quell'insolita arma si addentra in una palude di tradimenti e vendette da cui sarà difficile riemergere.

According to goodreads alone, 7800 people gave this on average, 3.8 stars. I should have liked this, but to be honest it was a struggle for me to even finish. The story seems fractured, moving as it does, between two different time periods, the latter days of WWII and present day Oslo. Nesbo writes wit Leggi tutto
I'm quitting after four chapters. There have been four different scenes, a couple dozen characters and at least two dates (out of time sequentially). I HATE books written this way. Hate them. I already don't remember the characters. I don't remember which character goes with which scene. I don't wan Leggi tutto
Jo Nesbo may be the best Scandinavian crime fiction writer going these days. He's created in Detective Harry Hole an interesting, deeply flawed protagonist who may remind American readers of Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch. The Redbreast is the third novel to feature Hole, and it's a complex story th Leggi tutto
