Patrick asked this question about Macbeth:

My first Jo Nesbo novel, I enjoyed the story more that the writing. I am wondering if this was typical of the authors writing style. Some of the things I did not care for might have been translation quirks as well. Anyone have any thoughts about how this compares to other Nesbo novels?

In the Harry Hole novels, you get to sink into the character and those around him. I recommend starting with the first Hole novel - The Bat - and go in order. The third book, the Redbreast, really takes the series into the stratosphere, but the first two are necessary for background.
