And your favourite(s) ?....

I'd be interested in that opinion too... to my shame, I've never read a Joolz book...   :-[

Billie Morgan is tops for me.
 :)

Are either of you followers of her "Memory Box" on facebook?
That makes great/interesting reading. It's a biographic page that is her life story warts and all. Even though names are changed you know who's who.  ;)
Whooosshhhh !!!

Hello Ghosttrain,
you must not be a registered member to open and read Joolz on facebook - and her postings and the memory box are interesting  ;)

Severe Addiction....... we shall see,just a thought do you need to read his books in order or are they all stand alone stories ?..

I would read the books in order.. The Harry Hole -series: The Bat / Cocroaches / The Redbreast / Nemesis / The Devil's Star / The Redeemer / The Snowman / The Leopard / Phantom / Police / The Thirst / Knife
As I mentioned, The Bat was the first book I read... After that, the book I found from second-hand shelf was The Leopard - quite a leap! So I read Phantom and Police next, then jumped back to beginning, The Snowman the book I read last (The Thirst and Knife weren't yet published) :) Well, worked that way also but as mentioned, better to read in order, to follow Harry's character and people around him.. After few years, I read all books again - I have phenomenally bad memory what it comes to details and plot twists and all, many times I didn't even remember who was the murderer!  ;D

From his stand-alone novels ''The Headhunters'' is my fave :)
