Helpful Score: 1

This is just the second Harry Hole novel translated into English but I already consider Jo Nesbo one of the best crime writers in the business. Nemesis is a great novel featuring two storylines. In one, Harry Hole wakes the morning after a evening dinner with an ex, she is dead, and he can't remember a thing about that evening. In the other, a teller is killed in a bank robbery. Harry must solve both crimes while keeping himself from becoming the prime suspect in the first. I will point out that both crimes seem to be solved on multiple occassions only to have evidence lead Harry to continue the investigation in a new direction. Imho, this made the novel seem longer than it was and would be my only criticism. If you haven't tried Jo Nesbo, he's worth the time.
