Continuing my crime reading challenge, I cracked open the second book in Jo Nesbo’s Blood on Snow duology.
Fortunately the second book turned out to be better than I expected. Please read on for my review of
Midnight Sun
The line connecting Midnight Sun and Blood on Snow is thin, but even saying that, I can’t see them standing on their own. The differences in the stories are enough to classify them as opposites, yet they compliment each other on a basic level.
Still using the first person pov, I found this storyline was better developed and it drew me in more.
There were a few twists that I was expecting, which is not a surprise anymore, but they didn’t bother me as much in this book, probably because of the characters.
.
What’s more, in Midnigh Sun Jo Nesbo the characters evolved to bring more depth which added to the story and made it more satisfying to read.
You can’t say it has a happy ending, but certainly the best options these characters could ever hope for!
I liked Midnight Sun better than Blood on Snow. I didn’t have to read them back to back, but I’m glad I did so. It made me appreciate the storyline more.

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…
