Our view
The fourth Harry Hole novel, “Nemesis”, has a well-made mystery at its centre and keeps the series worth following. Jo Nesbø keeps the mood dark and tense. Some readers find the first half slow and crowded with stock characters, but say the second half turns into exactly the kind of detective story that is hard to put down.
