Midnight Sun

Blood on Snow 2

By: Jo Nesbø

Narrated by: Kim Gordon

Jon is on the run. He has betrayed Oslo’s biggest crime lord: The Fisherman.

Fleeing to an isolated corner of Norway, to a mountain town so far north that the sun never sets, Jon hopes to find sanctuary amongst a local religious sect.

Hiding out in a shepherd’s cabin in the wilderness, all that stands between him and his fate are Lea, a bereaved mother; and her young son, Knut.

But while Lea provides him with a rifle and Knut brings essential supplies, the midnight sun is slowly driving Jon to insanity.

And then he discovers that The Fisherman’s men are getting closer....

Truly terrible narration

Would you try another book from Jo Nesbo and/or Kim Gordon?

I love Jo Nesbo's books.. or I have until now. but this book - I just couldn't get through it. I think it was largely the author - her flat, monotone reading made it difficult to engage in any way with the story. Perhaps the story was good... but such was the nature of the reading that I couldn't make that judgement

Would you ever listen to anything by Jo Nesbo again?

yes. all of his other books have been wonderful.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Kim Gordon?

almost anyone. having a man vs a woman read for a central male character would help I think.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

disappointment.

Any additional comments?

i will return this book.
