Book 24 of 2017 is The Bat: The First Inspector Harry Hole Novel by Jo Nesbo.
In my quest to start reading some Nordic Noir, I started with the second most famous series after The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
With great surprise and matching glee, I found this book was set in Sydney and was very well placed in situation and time. It was a good adjustment to this genre. The only thing that did annoy me was the slow part towards the end where the detective goes on an alcoholic bender. It bored me and then all of a sudden wound up. I may read the next book just to see if it isn't all sex, drugs and violence.
3 Darlinghurst whores out of 5.
Should I read this? Maybe. I wouldn't go out of my way too. Let me read another book before I recommend the series.
What did I learn? Blondes have all the fun.
