New York Times today reviewed Nemesis, one of Jo Nesbo’s Inspector Harry Hole crime novels. The sexy, soulful Oslo homicide detective is getting to be increasingly popular both in Europe and in the US.
The review of Nemesis was very positive, but the reviewer thinks Nesbo may be a little too tidy in his writing:
Nesbo falls back on coincidence and some other questionable devices. The problem isn’t that he fails to tie up all his story lines, it’s that he does it so carefully and neatly that the plot machinery is revealed for what it is — machinery.
