I've bought one of JN's book from a charity stall, it's The Redeemer, one of the Harry Hole series, should I read them in order or can I go ahead and read this one.
I read the Snowman first, next I think it was called Robin Redbreast. I don't think you need to read them in order. Enjoy, let us know what you think of his writing.
I started with The Snowman as had never heard of Jo Nesbo, and enjoyed it so much that I went to the first The Redbreast and then everyone since then. Have really enjoyed all of his books and apart from some of the personal issues you don't really miss much by reading out of order. I am sure you will go back and read all the previous ones.
Love John Nesbo read snowman first then redbreast. I would suggest reading redbreast before redeemer as there is a running theme regarding a certain character thru redbreast, devils star and redeemer.
Also saw today that the very first Harry Hole, The Bat, is finally being released in English.
