Midnight Sun by Jo Nesbø
4.0
Second [relatively] short read from Jo Nesbo. Although we follow completely different protagonist (this time man mistaken to be a ruthless killer and employed by the notorious Fisherman until ... well lets say truth came out) story is set into the same universe as [b: Blood on Snow|23602504|Blood on Snow (Blood on Snow, #1)|Jo Nesbø|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1422370944l/23602504._SY75_.jpg|26659491] and takes place as a matter of fact immediately after the first book.
Again, this is bitter sweet book about a aforementioned hit-man Jon who tries to find refuge in sub-polar area of Norway, wast wilderness of Finnmark area. Here he will come into contact with Sami people (Laplanders) and through contact with the natives Jon will slowly get back on track to normal life.
Dialogue is witty (made me laugh more than once, especially the "Everyone is southerner from this point on planet" :):)) and story is [as in the first book] told from the point of view of Jon. I liked the portrayal of people, how different places and ways of life build different views of the world around us.
This is much more happier book than the first one - although keep in mind this is crime novel with the comedic elements (or tragicomedy elements .... lets say serious stories told in a more relaxed way :)).
Recommended for fans of crime and noir stories.
