The Devil's Star: A Novel by Jo Nesbø
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A reading project for 2013 is to read all of the Harry Hole mysteries. I started with The Redbreast and Nemesis, and I just finished The Devil's Star in a rush because surprises kept coming!
Nesbo may use a mystery or police procedural plot line as a starting point; but he adds riffs above and below to make statements about the characters, the setting of Oslo, the press coverage of crimes, how we feel about the people with whom we must work, and about how we feel about the people who must save themselves.
This recommendation is more of an invitation for readers to join me.
