An important norwegian ambassador is found dead with a knife in the Cockroaches: An Early Harry Hole Case, in a room of an underground brothel. An investigation that will lead our A politician murdered in very politically incorrect circumstances, an extremely delicate situation, and a brilliant detective determined to making it worse. An investigation that will lead our problematic detective through the thai Cockroaches: An Early Harry Hole Case to an underground network with traces of political corruption. One killer, many suspects, and a murder that nobody really wants to solve, but him. A decent sequel to the series, although very far from "The Snowman" 7 experience, and also somewhat far from "The Bat" 2. Nevertheless, entertaining enough to hold interest and spend some crime time. And it's always fun to watch Harry Hole make a real mess of everything before finally clearing it up. Three out of twelve, and still a very long way ahead of me. Y siempre es un placer ver a Harry Hole hacer un verdadero desastre de todas las cosas antes de finalmente arreglarlo. View all 18 comments. May 02, Evgnossia O'Hara rated it really liked it. A dark case. The Cockroaches: An Early Harry Hole Case that Harry Hole has to fight; to stay sane; to keep moving. The Norwegian ambassador to Thailand is found dead in a Bangkok brothel, and the Inspector Harry Hole is dispatched from Oslo to help hush up the case. This addiction is considered as unique opportunity for the head of the Police to send him to Bangkok to investigate the crime. Being as suspicious as an exceptional detective should be, the readers are motivated to go into the complex process of decoding the above phrase; for knowing the real motives of this premeditated move. On the contrary, the intention was to use him as a means to pull the wool over the eyes of the media. Moving on, in this book Nesbo shows the real Hole. Harry becomes who he really is. And the truth is, he is a compassionate, emotional, benevolent and at the same time strong, determined person ready to help. Being said that, Harry behaves humanly towards wounded people, the misfits, those who are going through hell, since he is recognizing that Cockroaches: An Early Harry Hole Case own hell is in close proximity to theirs and not much different. Is it so? During the case Hole is acting as a responsible, audacious and sober man. I adored how skillfully Nesbo put his ideas Cockroaches: An Early Harry Hole Case. He developed a well-plotted story Cockroaches: An Early Harry Hole Case the insights into people, culture and the geography of Thailand. Throughout the story he demonstrated us the source of evil that keep haunting his inspector, making him the person who is displaying to be. A reflection. Not who he really is. What is more, he brings up important issues such as pederasty, pedophilia and sex industry that bothers not only Bangkok but also a great variety of countries all over the world. The characters were well-developed, believable, and multidimensional. I had a tough time making assumptions, who might be the murderer as they all had advantages, disadvantages and motives. To be honest, I was really surprised when the killer was revealed. I was impressed how Hole managed to fit the pieces of the puzzle and give me a reasonable explanation at the end. In the final analysis, this case broke him a little bit more. He collapsed again into this hopeless darkness letting the memories, the ghosts and the demons to keep him company. Perhaps he is feeling alive this way; or perhaps he knows that only by falling apart he will learn to live again. View all 21 comments. Feb 28, James Thane rated it really liked it Shelves: jo-nesboharry-holecrime-fiction. I confess that I was pleasantly surprised by this book. Rather, they jumped into the middle of the series first. The first book in the series, The Batwas finally released here last year and seemed to confirm the suspicion. I expected the same from Cockroacheswhich was finally released here last month, but as I suggested above, I was surprised by how much I liked it. This is not the sort of thing that reflects favorably on an ambassador or on the government that posted him to Thailand. The Powers That Be in the Norwegian government are much more concerned about avoiding a scandal than they are in finding the guilty Cockroaches: An Early Harry Hole Case, but they have to put up a good front. To accomplish these ends, the government assigns Detective Harry Hole to go to Bangkok and assist the locals in the investigation. Hole has just gained some notoriety for solving Cockroaches: An Early Harry Hole Case difficult case involving the death of a Norwegian citizen in Australia and thus to all outward appearances, seems an ideal choice. At the moment, however, Harry can most often be found in an alcoholic fog and not at his detecting best. The expectation is that Harry will go to Thailand for a few days, drink himself into a stupor, Cockroaches: An Early Harry Hole Case allow the locals to sweep the whole embarrassing incident under the rug. Our intrepid hero will instead sober up and pursue Cockroaches: An Early Harry Hole Case case to the ends of the earth, or at least to the ends of Thailand, no matter where the chips may fall. And in the process, of course, he will exasperate the hell out of his superiors. Hole is a great protagonist, and there are a lot of unexpected twists and turns.
