Good thing it was published only recently

Probably one of his first books, it's the first of the Hary Hole series, this books gives us a taste of what his writing looked at when Nesbo was starting.
It feels again like one of those paint by numbers paintings. The author seems to have taken a handbook on how to write a thriller and followed it, adding here and there a few insinghts. When he feels that the writing is too short, he inserts long passages that seem to be taken from books about Australia (the action is in that country), and when it's still too short for his tastte he inserts reminiscences about Hary's past that makes the reader wonder what is this doing here. Not a good book, the writing of a beginner. Not sure if that was the first work I had read by him I would have read more.
