Many thanks to NetGalley and Knopf, Pantheon, Vintage, and Anchor for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest book by a big favorite, Jo Nesbo - 4.5 stars!
Richard Elauved has been sent to live with his aunt and uncle after his parents die in a house fire. Richard is an outcast and begins bullying others at school. A classmate, Tom, goes missing and Richard is the last to see him. His story of Tom's disappearance is so unbelievable that no one does. Then another classmate goes missing. His only friend is Karen, who believes him and helps him to investigate. Their investigation takes them to an abandoned house in the Black Mirror Wood. .
This is a definite departure from Nesbo's Harry Hole series, veering to the horror genre and maybe even YA. But I still loved it! It's told in three parts, and my head was spinning at the twists in each part. It's a short, quick read and perfect for October!
