"The Redeemer" by Jo Nesbo

Overall I enjoyed this book, though, as usual, I found some of the philosophical musings to be a bit too abstract for total understanding. I like Harry Hole because he is an imperfect, 3 dimensional human being. I like the Norwegian/European flavor of the setting. As is often the case with Jo Nesbo, religion was an important theme. It seemed as if the Salvation Army is a significant religious organization in Norway. I wonder if that's actually the case. I remember the heavy religious presence in Ingmar Bergman movies, so I wouldn't be surprised. Ah, those rigid Scandinavians.
