As more women go missing Harry realises he’s up against Norway’s first serial killer a killer who leaves a calling-card outside each victim’s house: a snowman… The Bookįirst published in 2007 (and translated into English in 2010) the book ploughs straight into one of its main themes: infidelity. Then Oslo policeman Harry Hole receives a letter warning him this will happen again – just as it happens again. Women have been disappearing for years throughout Norway, when the first snows of winter fall, but the police haven’t seen a pattern. Both book and film are a good jumping-on point for those new to Harry. The Snowman is the seventh Harry Hole novel, but his first big screen outing. Football and music’s loss is definitely literature’s gain. Jo Nesbø wrote The Bat, creating Norwegian detective Harry Hole. When successful musicians are asked for a memoir, many write a story of sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll. Jo Nesbø went into the military, and then formed a band. When professional footballers take early retirement, many go into coaching. Even sounding less Walking in the Air and more Do You Want to Build a Snowman? won’t really help the recognition factor.
And spoilers!Īudiences of a certain age, with little knowledge of Nordic Noir, will be forgiven for expecting this film to be from the book by Raymond Briggs.
