Review: The Redeemer

The Redeemer The Redeemer by Jo Nesbø
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The sixth Harry Hole mystery, the first to follow the culmination of the Waaler storyline, is as different as it gets from The Devil’s Star. Here, it’s the dead of winter in Oslo as a new killer stalks the Christmastime streets, a killer with connections to the Salvation Army and the Yugoslav war, with references to the same town where Dr. Luka Kovać on ER used to live before he came to America. The best part of this book, however, is the discussion of why high control religious environments tend to cause so much perversion - arrested development at its worst.
