Summary
Olav lives the lonely life of a fixer.When you ‘fix’ people for a living, terminally, it’s hard to get close to anyone. Now he’s finally met the woman of his dreams.
But there are two problems. She’s his boss’ wife. And Olav’s just been hired to kill her. From the best-selling author of BAFTA-nominated Headhunters comes Jo Nesbo’s Blood on Snow.

What happened to Sean Barrett?
Not up to his usual standards... Disappointed! Almost glad it was just under 4hrs. Hoping the next Harry Hole will be back on form

Slow
Slow story, slowly read, too much bad language for my liking, I think it’s lazy to resort to bad language to express emotions and I wish audible would offer edited versions as I like to listen when
I’m ironing, but with young children around this makes it impossible. The story overall wasn’t bad but I’ve read better.

Terrible narrator
Not up to Jo Nesbo’s usual standard but some of that may have been because of the awful choice of narrator.
Having purchased dozens of audiobooks from Audible I’ve yet to hear a worse performance. She sounds like she’s bored and doesn’t want to be there. Stephen Hawking would have been a better choice and less monotone.

Half decent story spoilt by bad narration
The reader for this book is quite a bad choice. Firstly, it could be a man's voice or a woman's. It's obviously meant to be a man's, so why not pick someone with a rich deep voice that sounds like a killer? Secondly, the reader affects an L.A. Noir drawl that's totally out of keeping with the Oslo setting. It's an ok story but I won't be trying another like it.

Glad to get to the end
What disappointed you about Blood on Snow?
Story didn't seem to be to usual standard but that could have been due to extremely poor narration which either made me want to sleep or made me depressed. Sometimes both
If you’ve listened to books by Jo Nesbo before, how does this one compare?
I think I've listened to most of, if not all, of Jo Nesbo's books with huge enjoyment. This one didn't come anywhere near
Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Patti Smith?
Sean Barrett
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Blood on Snow?
Wouldn't have cut any but would have requested some to be added
Any additional comments?
I fail to understand why a female, with a strong American accent and such a monotonous style of reading was chosen. Totally wrong.

What a disapointment
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
No. It was terrible to listen to.
Would you be willing to try another book from Jo Nesbo? Why or why not?
I love Jo Nesbo books and have enjoyed many of them.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
I thought I was listening to a woman's voice playing the part of a man. The voice was so monotonous. Why was it an american voice in Norway. So dull. When the main character was injured I was really hoping he would be dead so I would have a new voice to read the rest.
If this book were a film would you go see it?
I don't think so as there wasn't a lot to the story.
Any additional comments?
Next time I will make sure I listen to the preview.

Missing Sean Barrett
What did you like best about Blood on Snow? What did you like least?
The story was more like a screen play for a Cohn brothers movie. I missed the dulcet tones of Sean Barrett. The setting, like the characters lacked depth and could have been anywhere rather than Oslo. The punk New York accent and the Norwegian setting had me lost somewhere in the mid Atlantic
I set the speed to 1.5 and this sounded better than the "normal" setting.
Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Patti Smith?
Sean Barrett
Did Blood on Snow inspire you to do anything?
Read the book instead.
