Harry Hole is such a ridiculous protagonist that carries on mostly at this point (I’m on book 7), through luck and sheer dgaf energy. Oh, and substance abuse. A shocking amount of substance abuse.




I’m fascinated by stories of what happens to heroes after they have defeated the villains. This book was described as The Princess Bride meets People We Meet on Vacation. I haven’t read the latter, but the former is not only one of my favorite movies but also a great book, so I’m stoked about this one.
