New Book Purchase: The Snowman

Despite the cold, I finally ventured outside yesterday. And as much as I wanted to stay inside all bundled up, I can't nest all day. So after running a few errands, I ended up finding my way to the bookstore where I found The Snowman and it was on sale. I didn't see the movie but the trailer looked interesting and it made me want to read the book which I heard a lot of good things about.

Book: The Snowman (Harry Hole book #7) by Jo Nesbo

Edition: Paperback

Description:

One night, after the year's first snowfall, a boy named Jonas wakes up and discovers that his mother has disappeared. Only one trace of her remains: a pink scarf, his Christmas gift to her, now worn by the snowman that inexplicably appeared in their yard earlier that day.

Inspector Harry Hole suspects a link between the missing woman and a suspicious letter he's received. The case deepens when a pattern emerges: over the past decade, eleven women have vanished -- all on the day of the first snow. But this is a killer who makes his own rules...and he'll break his pattern just to keep the game interesting, as he draws Harry ever closer into his twisted web.
