Blood On Snow by Jo Nesbo
Nov. 8th, 2020 03:20 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
Olav lives the lonely life of a fixer.
When you “fix” people for a living - terminally - it’s hard to get close to anyone.
Now he’s finally met the woman of his dreams.
But there are two problems.
She’s his boss’s wife.
And Olav’s just been hired to kill her.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Jo Nesbo’s standalone crime noir novella (translated from Norwegian by Neil Smith) is a tightly written story with some inky black humour and although it is a little predictable, it’s fast-paced and at times oddly moving. For some reason, I have not gotten around to reading much of his work, but this novella has shown me I need to correct that.
