  • "THE REDBREAST" by Jo Nesbo

    For fans of Norwegian crime novelist Jo Nesbo, this is a "must read". It's one of his best! Nesbo researches his topics extensively, and I always learn about interesting subjects, perfectly entwined within his literary skills. In this one, history buffs will learn the eye-opening truth about Norway during WWII we didn't learn in school. Highly recommended, and kudos to the supplier who delivered it promptly in excellent shape at a very reasonable price!
