For the next few days - until Wednesday 24th May 17, the Kindle version of In The Wicker Wood is free.
This is what Amazon readers (verified purchases) are saying about......In The Wicker Wood.
Jo
Nesbo, has masterfully shown the world the secrets of Norway, its
subcultures of authority (the police and the politicians), Oslo’s
drug culture, murder, kidnapping and mayhem in Scandinavia. The
author of “In The Wicker Wood” attempts to reveal Ireland in a
similar fashion. Wicker Wood is a book worth reading.
There
was just the right amount of street talk and street logic used by the
characters to keep me on edge. I was very interested in, and yet
scared shitless of, these mean bastards and the gritty underworld
they inhabit.
I
liked all the Irish nomenclature and phrases and customs that were
normal to the author and the characters but were quaint and sometimes
baffling to me.
Once
taken up, it's hard not to finish this story. Some interesting
characters, and while some of them imitate Hitchcock's Psycho,
nevertheless a good weekend read.
This
story takes a wild path which the author somehow magically combines
with Irish mythology.
And a pitcha is wurth 1,000 wurds (Dublineese).
