Description

Harry Hole, drunkard, loner and brilliant detective is reassigned to surveillance after a high profile mistake. He's bored by his new job until a report of a rare and unusual gun being fired sparks his interest because of its possible links to Neo Nazi activity. Then a former soldier is found with his throat cut. Next Harry's former partner is murdered. Why had she been trying to reach Harry on the night her head was smashed in? The investigation leads Harry to suspect that the crimes have their roots in the battlefields of Eastern Front during WWII. In a quest that takes him to South Africa and Vienna, Harry finds himself perpetually one step behind the killer. He will be both winner and loser by the novel's nail-biting conclusion. The Redbreast. He's your judge, jury and executioner...And he must be stopped.

I thought I had worked out the characters and plot lines, but towards the end some of the plot becomes a bit too entwined and there are some big jumps required in answering the questions that lead to a spectacularly strange ending. The pace was quick and fast throughout the majority of the book, so the ending seemed a bit disappointing and messy, but that would be because there are books after The Redbreast, so they may answer some of those questions. However, it is my first Jo Nesbo book and I have another to read, so won’t give up just yet – it may be the start to a long reading relationship, besides “The Prince” is still an outstanding item on the agenda.
