This was my first attempt at a book by this popular author and I had hopes that I might find a new series in the police procedural/thriller genre. Unfortunately I was disappointed by this book. Detective Harry Hole is a stereotypical police detective with a drinking problem. A young artist is found dead of an apparent suicide the day after Hole had a date with her - a date that he doesn't remember the end of due to a drunken blackout. Hole doesn't believe it was suicide and begins unofficially investigating while also officially working on a bank robbery and murder. Maybe I've just read too many of this type of story, but this one seemed predictable and I debated even finishing it.
