re: #177 dangerman

well im six pages (fell asleep) in so im committed to march violets now ;-)

and i take your point

sometimes its interesting to see an author develop chronologically
and as you say, other times their early work is not their best

ill letcha know

Please do! I am also very much the same way, like to read a series in sequence even when not strictly necessary. However, the Jo Nesbø novels being translated out of sequence got me a bit out of the habit.

Unfortunately, the first ever movie based on one of those novels being released today in the US, The Snowman, is getting terrible reviews. :(

If you or anyone else is up for some dark Scandinavian crime fiction, the place to start there is The Redbreast.
