I'm not enjoying this one so far. It's taking me a long time to feel invested in the main characters. Am I alone in this?
This book was pleasant surprise for me. It melded two genres together that of history and mystery. This series has become my new “summer read” quick, easy, beach reading fun!
Lovely little story, just not my cup of tea. Too predictable. I am also not a fan of the “serial” book trend. This was my first Brunstetter book. I will perhaps try an earlier novel.
I did eventually warm up to this book however I am not raving about the series just yet. I will give Harry Hole another shot at catching my interest as the book absolutely caught my interest as it progressed and was a definite puzzler until the reveals began.
So...it is 2023 and I have just re-read The Bat. I guess my review from 2015 was correct because I've warmed even more to this book which many told me to skip. I love knowing the history of characters and this book did an excellent job of painting the history of Harry Hole. For fans of Nordic Crime I think this series is a win.
