ReviewsDeserves to be a smash... A perfectly pitched thriller * Sunday Mirror * [An] incendiary cocktail of murder, revenge and a hitman with multiple problems * Independent * Nesbo is in bracing form...gripping * Sun * Striking in its simplicity... Nesbo is a writer at the top of his game who continues to amaze in new and confounding ways * Daily Express * The undisputed king of Scandinavian crime fiction...I am so used to the energetic plot twists, fiendish violence and addictive verbosity of Nesbo's writing that Blood on Snow, with its simplicity, brevity and unlikely poetry, comes as a welcome antidote. It is set in the 1970s, an era of increasing fascination to Nesbo, and has a first-person narrative that provides a window into its protagonist's lonely, tortured soul * The Times *
