Nemesis by Jo NesbøMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Harry Hole follows up on his investigation of lingering Nazi nonsense with a more personal story, as he wakes up with a touch of amnesia one morning and is the prime suspect in a woman's death, with his work nemesis Waaler happily leading the investigation against him. It's a shorter yet slower paced book compared to The Redbreast, although very Hitchcockian, and still with a bit of international intrigue involving bank robberies and a jaunt to Brazil. (It really amuses me that every book so far has Harry going to a much warmer country, with mixed results as he adjusts to culture and climate alike.) Overall, though, I'd say this one does its best setting up for the next book, the one that's been adapted into the new Netflix series, as Harry's (presumably) final confrontation with Waaler.
