One of the earlier
Harry Hole thrillers,
The Redbreast is great fun to read but a tad disappointing in the denouement. I understand the attraction of rooting the crime in Norway's bipolar wartime experience but the war element of the two-strand narrative collapses to pretty much nothing once you know the twist. Unlike
Headhunters, it is a bit of a cheat. Even so, you have to read
Redbreast to fully understand
The Snowman,
The Leopard etc.
