Jo Nesbo’s latest book, Wolf Hour, is an absolute page-turner which I devoured in a day.

The story is set in Minneapolis in Minnesota in the USA. The story unfolds in two time lines. One timeline is 2022 as a Norwegian crime writer visits the city to research his book on a series of murders that took place several years before. The other timeline unfolds in 2016 and follows the killer and also the detective, Bob Oz, as he tries to solve the case.

I loved detective Bob Oz, I found him to be multi-faceted. On the surface he is a very flawed man, but as the story moves along I saw him in a very different light. I found the setting of Minneapolis to be very interesting as it’s not a city or state that I’m familiar with. I found it really interesting that Minneapolis has a large number of the population descended from Norwegian settlers.

This is a very fast paced book with an ending you just won’t see coming.

Huge thanks to NetGalley and the publishers, Random House UK, Vintage, for making this e-ARC available to me in exchange for a fair and honest review.
