Rob Merrill of the Associated Press praised the novel's pacing but felt part of its quality was lost in the English translation. By crafting arguably the most intense of the Harry Hole novels to date, Nesbø puts the reader in the middle of an intense murder investigation and search for another horrific killer. Plot In 1980, a married woman has illicit sex with a lover while her adolescent son waits in a car outside their lovemaking is disturbed when they think somebody is looking at them from outside the window, which turns out to have been only a tall snowman. Publishers Weekly criticized the novel for having an "enormous number of characters, backstories, subplots, and themes" but nonetheless praised its "well-orchestrated" ending. Tom Nolan of Wall Street Journal praised Knife 's "memorable, well-drawn" character and called it "arguably the best entry yet" in the Harry Hole series, writing, "The moral conundrums in "Knife" are Dostoevskian, the surprises are breathtaking, the one-liners are amusing and the suspense is unrelenting."
Everything changes when one morning he wakes up covered in blood without remembering what happened the previous evening and, a short time later, he discovers that a murder had taken place that night. Recently, only minor cases have been entrusted to him, despite the fact that his investigative skills are well known at the anti-crime in Oslo. Harry Hole started drinking again and was kicked out of his home by his wife Rakel. Knife ( Norwegian: Kniv, 2019) is a crime novel by Norwegian writer Jo Nesbø, the twelfth in the Harry Hole series.
