I second Jo Nesbo books, I just wish I had read them in the proper order.

Some of the best ever detective drama's, from around the world, that I have seen (sub titles) are Walter Presents on Ch 4. Not sure where he gets the content from, but google might know.   :)  Hope this link works  https://g.co/kgs/m4mJPY

Oddly I read a review that advised the opposite. That reader thought thought the first book, set in Australia, was both uncharacteristic and the most poorly written. He/she reckoned if they had started with that one they might not have bothered with reading any more. I was thinking of beginning with The Oslo Trilogy but your comment is making me rethink.

The reviewer was correct, the book based in Australia is poorly written and his work definitely improved. It does however give an insight into his character and his reasons for doing things and personally I prefer to know these kind of things when reading about a character.
Whichever way you read them I’m sure you will enjoy them, I think the Snowman has just been made into a film which will be interesting to see. Please let us have a review when you read them. Suzyq.

Your right Suzyq, The Snowman was released last October with Michael Fassbender playing Harry Hole.

I wondered where I had come across Arkady Renko. Then I found out: it was many decades ago in the film Gorky Park with William Hurt. So that's a definite plus.

Stuart MacBride and the Logan McCrae series. Can be very gory like Rebus but some of the characters can be very funny.
