Representaion In Pursuance Of Books Frelseren (Harry Hole #6)
A 14-year old girl is raped at one of the Salvation Army summer camps. Twelve years later, at a Christmas concert in a square in Oslo, a Salvation Army soldier is executed by a man in the crowd. A press photographer has caught a suspect on one of the photos of the concert. Beate Lønn, the identification expert, is confused by how the face can change from one photo to the next. Inspector Harry Hole’s search for the faceless man takes place on the seamy side of the city, among those who seek eternal – or just momentary – redemption. And the gunman has not yet completed his mission.Describe About Books Frelseren (Harry Hole #6)

The Redeemer is the fourth book in translation by Jo Nesbo and he captures our imagination with this book by bringing us readers into the storyline twelve years prior to the main plot. We start with the rape of a fourteen year old girl that takes place at a Salvation Army summer camp in Norway. Although we know there was a rape we are not given clues who committed this act or disclosure of the victim. In a second separate event we are also given the story of a young croatian boy caught up in
4.5 Stars Rounded up to FiveHarry Roolaart, my Goodreads friend Harry, said Jo Nesbo is a must read for me and he was right. However, I didn't enjoy Harry Hole (pronounced, per Harry R. as Hoo-leh) near as much as "our Harry." But then, I'm not sure anyone loves and enjoys Nesbo's writing and his character Harry Hole, as much as "our Harry." (Harry Roolaart is from the Netherlands and he IS cosmopolitan. I'm not. I'm southern.)Yes, Harry, yes, I enjoyed this book and enjoyed it a lot. As a
In the sixth novel from the Harry Hole series, Nesbø adds a slight religious flavour to the story, with strong symbolism throughout. When Robert Karlsen, a member of the Salvation Army, is gunned down during a public concert, the identity of the shooter remains a mystery, baffling the authorities. Harry Hole leads the investigation, though there is little on which to act, except a description that includes a red neckerchief. Unbeknownst to them, a Croatian soldier-cum-hitman, Stankic, was been
This was reasonably good. Great twist and revelation at the end. But it does go on and on. Too many sub-plots and flashbacks. Too many suspects. Just like in The Snowman, there are instances where the case is thought to be solved but then there are more revelations and twists. I wonder whether this is Nesbo's formula. I have only read a couple of books by him so far. The salvation army setting was interesting. I liked the way the book began with the account of life in a salvation army camp from
Oooooh. Harry Hole, Oslo police inspector, has a new tricky, multi-faceted deadly mystery in the sixth novel in the Harry Hole detective series, The Redeemer. At first he has some joy in a clean desk and a re-start on his life! A new boss with no built-up grudges against Harry, Gunnar Hagen, is eager to earn his star in heaven. AA meetings are Holes chance to begin again with a clean slate, now that his greatest unsolved case has been cleared up (previous books in the series). Without Rakel, his
Harry has matured, changed, but he still pulls the rabbit out. The plots are more complex, but they are trackable. Unnecessary suspense is avoided, but pages of useless stuff still get in the way. The philosophy is deep, and the insights ring true. I cant wait to start the next book.
