Internationally acclaimed crime writer Jo Nesbø’s antihero police investigator, Harry Hole, is back: in a bone-chilling thriller that will take Hole to the brink of insanity.
Oslo in November. The first snow of the season has fallen. A boy named Jonas wakes in the night to find his mother gone. Out his window, in the cold moonlight, he sees the snowman that inexplicably appeared in the yard earlier in the day. Around its neck is his mother’s pink scarf.
Hole suspects a link between a menacing letter he’s received and the disappearance of Jonas’s mother—and of perhaps a dozen other women, all of whom went missing on the day of a first snowfall. As his investigation deepens, something else emerges: he is becoming a pawn in an increasingly terrifying game whose rules are devised—and constantly revised—by the killer.
Fiercely suspenseful, its characters brilliantly realized, its atmosphere permeated with evil, The Snowman is the electrifying work of one of the best crime writers of our time.
On the radio a nature programme had started and an enthusiastic voice was waxing lyrical about seals. "Every summer Berhaus seals collect in the Bering Straits to mate. Since the males are in the majority, the competition for females is so fierce that those males which have managed to procure themselves a female will stick with her during the whole of the breeding period. The male will take care of his partner until the young have been born and can cope by themselves. Not out of love for the female, but out of love for his own genes and hereditary material. Darwinist theory would say that it is natural selection that makes the Berhaus seal monogamous, not morality."
The voice on the radio was almost hitting falsetto with excitement. "But before the seals leave the Bering Straits to search... (查看原文)

也许是围绕这本的极高赞誉和作者的“北欧犯罪天王“的名声影响了我的读后感。我当然明白很多人选择犯罪小说为的就是thrill, 情节跌宕起伏，够吸引人就好， 不太在乎其他。 作者在书中描写的女性无一例外都是受害者，要么都死了或者差不多死了（而被害的原因让人也觉得想呵呵，对于作者和其创作角度来说，也太“方便”了一点），总而言之，片面不立体，符号化的女性角色设定让我联想到金庸的作品。且关于凶手的设定我也... 也许是围绕这本的极高赞誉和作者的“北欧犯罪天王“的名声影响了我的读后感。我当然明白很多人选择犯罪小说为的就是thrill, 情节跌宕起伏，够吸引人就好， 不太在乎其他。 作者在书中描写的女性无一例外都是受害者，要么都死了或者差不多死了（而被害的原因让人也觉得想呵呵，对于作者和其创作角度来说，也太“方便”了一点），总而言之，片面不立体，符号化的女性角色设定让我联想到金庸的作品。且关于凶手的设定我也同样感觉有点问题（不剧透了）。也许可辩驳说确实放眼真实世界，绝大部分的案件受害人实为女性，但犯罪小说系列作品何其多，同样让人放不下手的史蒂芬金，Tana French, Lousie Penny和J.K Rowling，并非都需要有这样的问题。 优点？情节紧凑，且作者和译者Bartlet文笔不错。 (展开)

If every baby was a perfect miracle, life was basically a process of degeneration.
