Every time I read a Nesbo book, I'm so enthralled by the story and the characters, especially Harry, that I have to take a step back once it's all washed over me to just be impressed and how well constructed his books are. This is one is no exception, with Harry accepting a private investigating job with someone he'd rather not work for, particularly when all he really wants to do is drink himself to death. But, bless him, Harry will always jump in when it's a matter of helping someone he cares about, and so he has to track down a seeming serial killer with a penchant for brain destroying parasites.
